Abstract
Under the experimental conditions described, the riboflavin requirement for the growing dog lies between 60 and 100 μg. per kilogram of body weight per day. The isocaloric substitution of lard for sucrose does not increase the riboflavin requirement of the growing dog. The following symptoms are associated with riboflavin deficiency: (1) fatty liver, (2) dermatitis, (3) muscular weakness of the hind quarters, (4) conjunctivitis, vascularization of the cornea, corneal opacities, and (5) tachycardia.
