EFFECTS OF DIETS CONTAINING SODIUM FLUORIDE ON MINK

摘要: Mink (Mustela vison) kits still nursing, and adult male mink were fed diets containing various levels of fluorine (as NaF) to determine the effects on health, growth pelt quality. Different groups 25.5 (control), 46.0, 111.5 or 287.0 ppm (on a wet basis) for 7–8 mo. Gross, radiographic microscopic changes seen in bones from some animals ingesting higher fluorine. Chemical analyses generally reflected ingested. Fluorine caused no detectable differences After data evaluated, tolerance feed not more than 50 breeding stock 100 being raised only pelts are recommended.
