ABSTRACT

This experiment was initiated to study the effects of arsanilic acid on the growth and well-being of young dairy calves. Eighteen calves were divided into two groups, balanced for age and breed. Calves in one group received 50 mg. of arsanilic acid daily per calf, and those in the control group received no arsanilic acid. All calves were started on experiment at birth and continued until 23 weeks of age.

There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in regard to rate of weight gain or feed efficiency. Also, there was no apparent difference between the two groups in incidence of disease or in physical appearance.
