Abstract

The bioavailability of strontium has been studied in rats fed meat, meat supplemented with rat food or various ingredients of rat food. Rats were on the respective diets for nine days. On the sixth and seventh day of the experiment they received 85Sr and 47Ca in drinking water. The highest radiostrontium retention was found in the group fed meat only (52 per cent). The supplementation of meat with rat food or any of its ingredients reduced this retention (up to 9 times). Ingredients found to cause the lowest radiostrontium retention were sunflower meal, alfalfa meal, cane molasses and fish meal.
