| Description | Effects of a high bromide intake in lactating rats on the performance of the dams and on the prosperity of their young were studied. A very high intake of bromide in the mothers in the course of the nursing period (about 220 mg Br-/d per dam) caused a marked decrease in the body weight increments in their suckling young. Bromide ions ingested by the dams easily moved into the rat milk. Via mother's milk, bromide was transferred in a large extent to the suckling. |
