- Abstract
Fluorine intoxication is an important global public health concern in humans and animals. In present study, sodium fluoride alone and with aluminium sulphate (ameliorative agent) was administered orally daily for 30 days in healthy goats of group 1 and 2 respectively to access the radiographic changes in the forelimb and efficacy of aluminium sulphate as an ameliorative agent. The radiographic changes that were observed in both the groups after 30 days exposure include an increase in overall density of the bony cortex. No other significant change s in the bone and or the joint of any of the animals were detected.
