Studies in vitamin A. 15. The variations in the serum β-carotene and vitamin A levels of cows near parturition

Year: 1951

Type: article

Abstract: Kuhimann & Gallup (1944), Braun (1945a) and Sutton, Kaeser & Soldner (1945), working in the United States, have reported that at or immediately after parturition the serum carotenoid and vitamin A levels of cows drop sharply, to recover slowly during the next 14-21 days.It was considered important to find out whether such a situation obtained with cows kept under normal English farming conditions, and to this end the work re- ported here was carried out during 1948.
