ABSTRACT

Conclusion: The data given indicate that a shortage of phosphorus in the ration extending over a long period of time may become the limiting factor in milk production. Even under conditions of osteomalacia so severe as to show marked symptoms in the animal resulting from an extreme and long continued shortage of phosphorus the calcium and phosphorus content of the milk remains normal in amount and in proportion.
