CONTROL BASAL DIETS IN ANEMIC DOGS

Abstract

All procedures relating to the standard anemic dog and to the study of its capacity to produce new Hb in red cells are descr. in detail. Mechanically mixed bread is better utilized by the anemic dog and the basal Hb output is increased as compared with the hand mixed bread of the earlier experiments. Bran is an important constituent of the salmon bread and is probably responsible for about 1/3 of the new Hb production in standard expts. Potato protein is very well utilized to form new Hb.
