ABSTRACT

Conclusions: The results indicate that when sampled under pasturage conditions Smooth brome grass (Bromus inermis L.) contained 396 ± 27 rat units of vitamin A activity per gram, and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) contained 269 ± 17 units. A rat unit as used in this paper is calculated from the daily dose in milligrams required to cause an average total gain of 12 grams in 4 weeks.
