Effect of Dietary Fluoride on Performances and Bone Characteristics of Broilers and the Influence of Drying and Defatting on Bone-Breaking Strength

Abstract A trial with broiler males, housed in cages, was conducted to determine the effect of (added) dietary fluoride at 0, 200, and 400 mg/kg on performance and bone characteristics and the influence of preconditioning (drying, defatting) on bone-breaking strength. The F administration resulted in a significantly (P
