Description

An histopathologic examination was carried out on two 8- and 9-year old Sika deers(Cervus nippon Temminck), that had osselets in various parts of their bones, at a deer ranch in Jilin, China. Each animal received feed containing a fluoride additive ranging in amount from 1.08〜1.60 mg/kg/day for about 7 months. The fluoride contents of the osselets examined were in the range of 499.00〜1,069.00 ppm. Autopsies revealed osselets of various sizes in the limbs and facial bones. The histological findings obtained showed an increase in the connective tissue, cartilage and bone formation, increased osteoid, and the formation of new trabecular bone. These pathological changes most likely belong to periosteal hyperostoses.
