    Abstract:
    Two outbreaks of fluorosis in cattle and sheep were investigated in the Northern Transvaal. The animals exhibited severe dental lesions, lameness and exostoses. Plasma fluoride concentrations were high and there was an inversion of the albumin/globulin ratio. Alkaline phosphatase activity was elevated. Drinking water from boreholes contained excessive amounts of fluoride and upon irrigation, pastures were also contaminated with fluoride.
