Abstract
Aim:
The main objective of the study was to determine the deleterious
effect of fluoride on plasma trace minerals of fluorotic cattle
and to evaluate the effect of
Tamarindus indica
leaf powder toward correction of the same.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 30 cattle exhibiting chronic sign of fluorosis and 10
healthy cattle from nonfluorotic area were incorporated in this
study. Fluorotic cattle were divided into three equal groups
consisting of 10 cattle each. Group I from fluoride free area
served as healthy control. The Group II received no treatment
and served as disease control. Groups III and IV were
supplemented with tamarind leaf powder at 15 g and 30 g/day with
feed for 60 days. Plasma mineral status was evaluated after 60
days of treatment with double beam atomic absorption
spectrophotometer.
Results:
Statistical analysis of data revealed a significant (p<0.05)
decrease in mean plasma copper (Cu) (0.344±0.007 ppm), zinc (Zn)
(0.692±0.06 ppm), and iron (Fe) concentration (1.100±0.01 ppm)
in fluorotic cattle in comparison to healthy cattle (0.58±0.010,
2.342±0.04, 1.406±0.04 ppm, respectively). Significant (p<0.05)
increase in Cu, Zn, and Fe was recorded after supplementation of
tamarind leaf powder to the fluorotic cattle.
Conclusion:
It was concluded that fluorotic cattle might be supplemented
with
T. indica
leaf powder with feed for the correction of the decreased level
of certain plasma minerals.
Keywords:
cattle, fluorosis, micro-minerals, tamarind leaf.
