Studies on Alleviation of Industrial Fluorosis in Baotou Goats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Industrial fluorosis of goats in Baotou has a history of more than 20 years. Since the 1980$ the following alleviating measures have been adopted: 1) chemical feed supplementation to counteract and reduce digestion of fluoride; 2) removal of goats from high to low fluoride areas; 3) relocation of goats from low to high fluoride areas for reproduction; 4) grass cultivation and/or low fluoride grass storage for use as goat feed during dry season; 5) dry season nutrient supplementation; 6) mechanical trimming of sawteeth. Some of the measures have resulted in longer goat life-spans and a corresponding increase in herdsmen's incomes.

Quantification of Rib Col1a2 Gene Expression in Healthy and Fluorosed Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goats
Damage to collagen protein and its gene expression caused by excessive fluoride (F) ingestion plays an important role in the etiology of skeletal fluorosis. Recently we found that industrial F pollution significantly increased the expression level of type II collagen gene (COL2A1) in rib cartilage of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats. With the same goats and methods, we have now quantified another ...

There is considerable confusion concerning the structure and synonymity of macroscopic sarcocysts in goats. In the present work, ultrastructural and molecular study on fat and thin macrocysts of Sarcocystis isolated from naturally infected goats were investigated. Two forms of macrocystic sarcocysts were collected from fresh oesophagus, diaphragm, skeletal muscles and heart of slaughtered goats...
