  Author(s): Shanti Lal Choubisa*
  
  Over exposure of fluoride (F) triggers the genesis of several adverse health effects in vertebrates including man and domestic and wild animals in the form of fluorosis. In the rural India, the maximum populations of domestic animals are bovines (cattle and buffaloes). These animals are basic economic sources for villagers and strengthen the rural economy. Though, multiple sources of F exposures are available. However, F containing water and industrial F emissions are the major sources of F exposure for bovine animals. In rural areas, almost all the drinking groundwater sources are fluoridated and contained F beyond the threshold value of 1.0 or 1.5 mg/L. Drinking of such water for long-term is injurious to animal health. Many industrial processes in rural areas are releasing F in their surrounding environment and contaminate the agriculture soil and freshwater reservoirs. These sourc.. View more»
