The Effect of Thiamin Feeding upon Milk and Fat Production^*

Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y.

ABSTRACT

By means of a double reversal trial, with periods of five weeks duration, and using four cows of medium production, the effect of thiamin supplement, when added to a low-fat diet, was studied. Thiamin was supplied at the rate of 300 micrograms per pound of total digestible nutrients ingested. No effect upon the production of milk or fat was observed.
