Fluorine Storage in Cattle Bones

Department of Agricultural Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison

ABSTRACT

1. Under ordinary conditions it appears that a small amount of fluorine is transferred through the placenta of the cow to the fetus.
   
2. As long as the main source of food for the calves is milk, their bones contain a relatively constant low quantity of fluorine.Apparently small quantities of fluorine are obtained through the milk.
   
3. The chief storage of fluorine in the bones of cattle occurs after weaning.
   
4. These data also suggest that fluorine is present in appreciable quanti-ties in the organic matrix of the bone and in cartilage.
