“…As an essential nutrient, B is a necessary dietary for not just to metabolisms of bacteria, fungi, plants, animals and but also to humans (Hunt, 1994;Goldbach et al, 2001). B, like other microelements, could be toxic in definite doses, depending on how organisms taken in (Blevins and Lukaszewski, 1994).…”

Boron (B) is required for organisms as an essential nutrient, whereas could be toxic in definite doses. In this study, for the first time, the effects of water-borne and food-borne B on fish sperm motility were initially determined and these sperm samples were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen aiming to reveal how the quality of these samples are affected by cryopreservation. 12 mature male goldfish (Carassius auratus) individuals for each treatment performed in triplicate for 45 days were used in the study. Fish were fed with diets containing 1 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg of B per kg feed for foodborne experiments. In waterborne experiments, fish were kept in aquariums containing 1 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 20 mg/L of B. In both fresh and cryopreserved samples, the motility durations (s) and percentages of the sperm samples, vitality of spermatozoa (%) were determined. In the fresh samples, percentages of sperm motility and viability in the both B treatments decreased compared to the control, while increasing B concentration. After cryopreservation, the sperm samples in 5 mg of B per kg feed treatment has shown higher duration of sperm motility. Therefore, it is shown that feed-borne B could improve sperm resistance to cold shock.

“…However, boron at the doses of 200 and 400 mg/L decreased their body weights [24] . Hunt [7] reported that different doses of boron with vit D caused an increase in the body weight of the chicks. King et al [13] , reported that different doses of boron injected into the egg had no effect on the body weight.…”

“…It is beneficial for bone structure and functions and plays role in inflammation process as well as in regulation of the physiologic functions [1,7,8] . It was shown that boron did not exhibit toxic effects on the reproduction system of rats and was found to be effective on skeletal system at high doses [9] .…”

“…Hunt (1989) demonstrated that boron deficiency lead to poor growth and leg abnormalities in chicks. Recent research findings suggested that physiological amounts of supplemental dietary boron affected a wide range of metabolic parameters in the chick and rat (Hunt 1994). Another study showed that microscopic changes were seen in kidney and nervous system of mice, rats and dogs following exposure to BA (Pfeiffer et al 1945).…”

Short-and long-term oral exposures to boric acid (BA) in laboratory animals and birds caused toxic effects. However, the toxicity data on adult poultry skeletal muscles of BA was not documented with metabolic studies. Livability, weight gain, and feed conversion might be adversely affected in broilers as a result of changes in energy metabolism. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the influences of acute BA doses on energy metabolism of chick pectoral muscle (PM). Chicks were fed by giving the aqueous solutions supplemented with BA (0, 0.27, 0.54, 1.08, 1.35, 2.25, 3.375 and 4.5 mmol B/kg b.wt.). Breast muscle samples were taken at 24, 48 and 72 h and analyzed histochemically, ultrastructurally and biochemically. Data collected in these analyses indicated that consumption of diets containing up to 2.25 mmol B/kg at 24, 48 and 72h was not detrimental to broiler PM. However, 3.375 mmol B/kg b.wt. (at 24 h) and 4.5 mmol B/kg b.wt.(at 24 and 48 h) caused decreased metabolite concentrations (glucose, glycogen, lactate and ATP) in muscle fibers (Type IIB). Subsarcolemmal (SS) mitochondria and intermyofibrillar (IM) mitochondrial damage (cristae dissolution) were also observed by toxic effect of BA (4.5 mmol B/kg b.wt.). These observations proved that BA at the high doses (3.375 and 4.5 mmol B/kg b.wt.) causes to altered energy metabolism in Type IIB as dependent on time. Based on these results we think that energy protection in muscle against BA toxicity will be the most important study subject. Thus, high BA doses will not have detrimental effects on broiler performance.
