Abstract
The anemia produced in young rats by restricting them to a diet of whole goat''s milk was cured by the addition of Fe and Cu salts. The growth of rats fed goat''s milk mineralized with Fe, Cu, and Mn was much inferior to that obtained with cow''s milk mineralized in the same manner. The deficiency in goat''s milk for growth was not corrected by the addition of cod liver oil, yeast, liver, or crystalline vitamin B1. Normal growth was obtained by the addition of brain tissue. The addition of a better grade of alfalfa hay to the diet of the goats improved the growth-promoting properties of the milk.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
