Abstract
Aim:
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the ameliorative
potential of dried
Moringa oleifera
fruit powder in fluorosis affected calves reared around the
vicinity of aluminium smelter plant.
Materials and Methods:
Total 107 calves were screened on the basis of clinical signs
and higher plasma fluoride (more than 0.2 ppm) level for
evidence of fluorosis. Out of that, 90 samples found positive
and from them 18 calves of 6-12 months age group were selected
and divided equally into three groups named as Group II, III,
and IV. Group II remained as disease control group whereas Group
III calves were supplemented with dried
M. oleifera
fruit powder of 25 g/calve for 60 days. Group IV calves were
supplemented with calcium carbonate at 100 mg/kg body weight and
boric acid at 10 mg/kg for the same experimental period. Group I
consisted of six numbers of healthy calves taken from the non-fluorotic
zone, i.e. Bhubaneswar. Plasma fluoride level, hemoglobin (Hb),
packed cell volume (PCV), total leukocyte count (TLC),
differential count (DC), total erythrocyte count, mean
corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular Hb (MCH), and MCH
concentration (MCHC) were estimated on day 0, 30, and 60 of the
experiment.
Results:
Supplementation of dried
M. oleifera
fruit powder to fluorosis affected calves resulted in
significant reduction in plasma fluoride level and increase in
Hb%, PCV, TLC and altered DC. Similar results were also recorded
in calcium+boron group, except PCV and Hb. No significant
changes were observed in MCV, MCH, and MCHC values.
Conclusion:
The present study concluded that supplementation of dried
M. oleifera
fruit powder daily for 60 days has shown protection against
chronic fluoride toxicity in calves.
