Abstract
Feeding 10-15 cc. cod-liver oil daily to goats in various stages of lactation improved the Ca balance by reduction of fecal Ca. The effect on P was variable. In late lactation the Ca content of the milk was increased but milk fat was never affected. The I of milk was raised by feeding cod-liver oil or KI. The effects of cod-liver oil were not reproduced by equivalent amounts of olive oil and KI.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
