Abstract
Of 89 rats fed a rachitic diet including non-irradiated muffets, 5% survived a per Os enteriditis infection, as compared with 30% of 94 rats fed the same diet including irradiated muffets. Therefore we conclude that the use of irradiated whole wheat (muffets) in a rachitogenic diet fed to rats increases their resistance against infection.Keywords
