A Note on Feeding Vitamin A and D Concentrate in Cod-Liver Oil to Calves

New York and Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Stations, Geneva and Ithaca, N. Y.

ABSTRACT

Conclusions: When calves were fed rather liberal quantities of partially skimmed milk, skimmilk, all the good alfalfa hay they could consume, and a good grain ration, the feeding of vitamin A and D concentrate with cod-liver oil did not increase growth during a 40 week feeding trial. If there was any difference in general health it was in favor of the calves fed vitamin A and D supplement but such differences, if present, were slight.

The experiment indicated the necessity of good hay being available to the calves at all times to secure maximum growth and a thrifty condition of health even though skimmilk and grain were fed in liberal quantities.
