The Rôle of the Antiscorbutic Vitamin in the Nutrition of Calves^*

University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota

ABSTRACT

Conclusion

Calves do not require vitamin C in quantities that can be measured by the present method of testing food materials for their antiscorbutic potency by feeding them to guinea pigs.

Under practical conditions, even where very poor feeding practices are followed, there is little if any reason to believe the well-being of the calf will be affected by a shortage of vitamin C.
