The aim of this investigation was to carry out thecomparative therapeutic study on fluorotic calves reared in vicinity of an aluminium smelter plant. The F burden in the environmental samples (soil, fodder and water) collected from the vicinity of aluminium smelter was significantly higher than that of non-fluorotic zone. Significantly higher level of F was also recorded in plasma, urine and faecal samples which were associated with significant alterations in haemato-biochemical parameters in the F-exposed calves compared to the calves reared in non-fluorotic area. Supplementation of tamarind pulp in the feed significantly altered the F level in plasma, urine and faeces in the exposed calves along with restoration of haemato-biochemical parameters by day 60 in comparision to the routinely used F-binding agent (Boron) which proved its better efficacy against the development and/or progression of fluorosis.
