Abstract

Correlation between fluoride level and some blood serum elemental status were studied in 50 buffaloes suffering from chronic fluorosis at Manqabad district, Assiut Province. Age of examined animals ranged between 5-8 years.
The study revealed negative correlation between fluoride and levels of Ca, Mg, Fe, Na and Ci. Positive correlation between fluoride and k level was also evident. Such elemental status during treatment of buffaloes suffering from chronic fluorosis my be considered.
