Abstract
Using a milo grain, cottonseed meal and sorghum silage ration to fatten weanling steer calves, it was found that the enzyme hyaluronidase, when given in two injections, did not prevent the formation of calculi. Both ammonium chloride and phosphoric acid were effective in reducing stone formation when added to the ration. Substitution of cottonseed hulls for a small portion of the silage in the ration had no effect. Copyright © . .
