Abstract
As tested for 23 wks. on 42 albino rats (including controls) the animal fat margarine churned in whole milk is equal to butter in vitamin A content. The margarine with cocoanut oil as the fat content is very deficient in vitamin A. As tested for 10 days in the cure of 40 rachitic rats the oleo-oil-lard-milk margarine studied is superior to butter in vitamin D content.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
