Abstract
In normal growing dogs from weaning (8 wks. old) to the adult state (1 yr. old) there is ample Hb building material for maintenance but little reserve storage of these Hb producing substances (30 gm. Hb) when the diet consists of standard salmon bread. When skeletal muscle (beef) is added to the basal ration a considerable reserve store of Hb producing material (91 gm. Hb) is demonstrable. With liver feeding during this growth period the dog will store away a large supply of material out of which new Hb can be produced in an emergency (115 gm. Hb). The total circulating Hb at the beginning of the anemia exp. amounted to 236-248 gm.
