The Physiological Behavior of Iron in the Calf

ABSTRACT

Results of ferrokinetics studies and tissue distribution investigations as a function of time after Fe-59 administration in 21 calves indicate radiochemical procedures to be a sensitive measure of integrity of erythropoietic tissue. They further demonstrate feasible measurements of physiological mechanisms of iron metabolism that should provide means for dietary requirement estimations and basic data essential for understanding the nature and pathogenesis of prevalent anemias among farm animals.
