This need is intensified by increase in growth, by lactation, and by pregnancy. About three-fourths of the sh of the body is calcium phoxphate, and as the animal increases in size the need ior calcium and phos- phorus in the feed is increased. A heavily lactating cow supplies a large amount of calcium and )hOS)hO rus in the mile as milk contains both of these elements. The work oi most r H inves tQ at are )Jilt s to the act that during heavy milk produc- slcium and ohogahorus from the body. - , d 0 tion there is a loss of Also the ooty of a new born calf weQ hing eightI pounds con- tains according to fichles and Trowbridge, about a.8 pounds of 1- mineral matter of which three- I urths is calcium and pnos horns. These elements must be iurnished by the mother and adds to the amount re‘uired in the feed. Host of the roughages and esgecially the le-unes contain calcium in abundance.

It is different, however, with a is (D '5 heavily lactating animal. The su ply in the conmon fee d not envugh to meet her requirements. Qhere is a need for supplements which have a high percentage of both calcium and pLosphorus. Bone heal and raw rock phosphate are two minerals which "\ e elements. none meal is a so- u 118 m contain an abundance of t J‘ celled organic source. Bon- meal is a by product 01 the use industry and can be secured from taehing .- louses only in limited y-.. quantities. This makes bone heal a relatively expensive sup_lenent. Ra u rock phosphate is an inroganic source of calcium and phosphorus. It is singly the natural rock very finely ground. T19 supply of raw rock phenghate is practically unlimited and is therefore inexpensive. If tLere was not difference in the feeding value, raw rock sheephate would be a much cheaper supglement than bone meal. No work with dairy cows had been done directly comparing bone nee and raw rock phosphate and this exocrinent was under- taken in order to determine the relative availability of the calcium and ghosghorus of bone meal and raw rock phosphate when fed to lactating dairy cows. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Calcium and phOSphorus are considered the limiting mineral elements in animal nutrition, since they are present in the body in much larger quantities than any of the other elements. Larger amounts of both are lost from the body during the normal life processes; and probably the main use of mineral supplements such as raw rock phoSphate and bone meal is to replace the calcium and phOSphorus that is used up in tille way. Normal Functions of Calcium and PhOSphorus Calcium and Phosphorus of the Skeleton About three-fourths of all the ash of the body is calcium phOSphate. (21) About five percent of the live weight or twelve percent of the dry weight of the carcass of the ox is calcium phOSphate. (86) Lawes and Gilbert have made the following analysis: (60) Half fat ox Fat ox Calf Calcium 1.50877: 1.2817”. 1.17773 Phosphorus 0.803% 0.677% 0.6707; By far the greatest percentage of both calcium and phosphorus is found in the skeleton. Probably 99% of all the calcium and 85% of the phosphorus of the body are found in the bones. The two elements make up about 90% of the ash of bone. (42) They are largely combined, seven-eighths of the bone ash being phOSphate of lime. (21) Beaunis found the following composition of bone: Lime 57.58% PhOSphoric Acid 53.31% Hart, McCollum and Humphrey of the Wisconsin station (34) have shown that the animal skeleton acts as a reserve storehouse for mineral matter supplying calcium and phOSphorus when the amount in the feed is below requirements, in order that the metabolic processes of the body may continue. Under such conditions the calcium of the flesh and other soft parts of the body remain as high as in animals liberally fed with these elements. These investigators found that a cow fed a ration deficient in calcium during three and one half months gave off 5.5 pounds more calcium in milk and excrement than was in the feed. This was fully 25% of all the calcium in her body, in - cluding the skeleton, at the beginning of the trial. Forbes and associates {23) showed that liberal milk production on common practical rations, fed in sufficient quan- tities to maintain live weight and cause regular nitrogen and sulphur storage, caused consistent losses of calcium, magnesium and phorphorus from the cow's skeleton. Losses occurred in spite of liblral supplies of these elements in the feeds. (24) With a ration of common feeds chosen to provide maximum supply of mineral nutrients all calcium, magnesium and phOSphorus balances were negative. With increase in these elements by increasing the food consumed and by addition of calcium carbonate and bone meal all calcium and all but one magnesium balance re- mained negative, the phOSphorus balance, however, became positive. These experiments indicate that minerals are normally removed from the skeleton during liberal milk production. Later studies at the Ohio Station (25) gave no evidence that the limited utilization of calcium compounds is due to the difficult solubility of calcium compounds in the ration. Calcium lactate, calcium chloride, and precipitated bone phosphate, all soluble compounds of calcium, were added to the rations without making the calcium balance positive. During this experiment the phOSphorus balances were negative. All of these experiments show that it is a normal function of the skeleton to give off calcium and thSphorus during liberal lactation. This loss of minerals seems to take place until the im- pulse to secrete milk has largely Spent itself after which a retention begins to take place. Forbes and associates {27) showed in a series of studies that in 49 negative balances of calcium during liberal milk production, without one exception, the animal began to store calcium as soon as the milk production had de- creased to such an extent that the calcium outgo did not exceed their capacities to assimilate calcium. ‘Meigs and Woodward {81) found that milk cows store large amounts of calcium and phosphorus during a dry period, if they are properly fed. It appears from the results of all these investigators that the skeleton is made up largely of calcium and phosphorus; that both of these elements are stored in the skeleton during growth and periods of rest from lactation; that during heavy milk production the animal uses up part of the calcium and phOSphorus of the skeleton. Calcium and Fhosphorus in Other Tissues Both calcium and phosphorus are found in other tissues of the body. PhOSphorus is found in relatively large quantities in muscle, brain, nerves, liver and lungs. Gilbert and Posternack (32) estimate the total phosphorus of the human body as 1000 grams 9205 at middle life. This 1600 grams is made up of about 1400 grams in the skeleton, 130 grams in muscles, 12 grams in brain, 8 grams in nerves, 10 grams in liver, 6 grams in lungs,and about 4 grams in blood. Calcium is also found in these tissues but in much smaller quantities. (28) Calcium and PhOSphorus in Milk Very large quantities of both calcium and phosphorus are contained in milk. This accounts for the enormous drain on the calcium and phosphorus of the skeleton during liberal milk pro- duction. The phOSphoruS occurs mostly as phosphates of calcium, magnesium, and aluminum. (40) Calcium occurs as phOSphate, citrate and caseinate. According to various authors the content of lime and phOSphoric acid in cows milk is as follows: Author % 0&0 % P205 Barge (1874) 0.1599 0.1974 Schrodt & Hansen (1885) 21.45 p of ash 24.11; of ash Trunz (1903) 0.1524 9.1821 0.2841 0.3284 Jensen (1904) 0.2851 0.1983 Babcock ’ 0.1400 0.1700 0.2160 Katagama (1908) 0.1670 _ (Average composition of milk of improved breeds) 0.1780 0.225 (Average comeositionqof milk of natlvenbrpjcs. The percentage of calcium and phosphorus in milk is subject to but little variation. Some authors note (11) success in increasing the calcium content of milk by addition of calcium salts to the ration. An increase in the amount of calcium and phosphorus in milk, however, is hardly the purpose of the feeder in adding mineral supplements to the ration. The value of these feeds lies in their ability to supply enough calcium and phos- phorus to meet the normal demand and thus prevent the loss of these elements from the skeleton. Calcium and Phosphorus in Blood Calcium and phosphorus are also important constituents of the blood. PhOSphorus is present as potassium and calcium phosphate and inorganic combination as phosphatides and neucleoproteins 0r nucleins and according to Panella as phos- phocarnic acid. (29) Lecithin was found by Gobley in 1851. Calcium occurs in blood serum as Ca(H003)2. (63) Other forms of calcium.are present but in smaller quantities. The analysis of blood as found by several investigators is as follows: 0x blood Bull blood Corpuscles Serum Corpuscles Serum (1) Parts per 1000 of blood 2205 0. 2392 0.1646 0. 2360 0.1560 " 1000 " " 080 0.0805 0.0730 (80) 9.6 - 9.8 milligrams calcium per 100 grams blood plasma (670 Oxen 6.43 milligrams calcium per 100 0.0. whole blood (8) 0x blood 7.82 milligrams calcium per 100 0.0. whole blood In human beings the average calcium in the blood is between 9 and 11 milligrams per 100 0.0. whole blood. (59), (50), (10) In rats 9.5 to 10.5 milligrams per 100 0.0. and that of phOSphorus 7 to 8.5 milligrams. (57) The amount of phosphorus in both the plasma and the corpuscles is extremely variable and depends to a large extent upon the amount available in the feed. Calcium, however, is quite constant. (53) Calcium and phOSphorus may both be used for Specific purposes in the blood. For instance, calcium is necessary for clotzing 0f the blood, and alkali compounds of phosohates are of great importance in maintaining almost constant reaction of body fluids. It is doubtful, however, if the feeding of minerals containing calcium and ph08phorus can effect these functions. It is the amount of calcium and phosphorus that is being carried by the blood to replace that lost from the tissues through the normal life processes that may be affected by a diet rich in calcium and phoSphorus. Effect of Distrubance of Calcium 0r Ph0Sphorus Iletabolism An insufficient supply of either calcium or phosphorus or a disturbed metabolism of these elements may lead to a number of pathological changes. Among these osseous cachexia, rickets, and tetany are the most important. Osseous Cachexia or Osteomalacia ( In Human Beings ) Osteomalacia of domestic animals differs from human osteomalacia. In humans the disease is of an entirely unknown cause (30) One of the prominent symptoms is an absorption of salts from the bone and their replacement by tissues not having the normal content of bone salts. There is usually a marked 7 loss of mineral matter generally, of calcium, 8 less marked loss of phOSQhorus, and a decided increase in magnesium. {83) A moderately severe case studied by HcCrudden (79) showed that the relative amount of inorganic matter of the dried bone was 285 compared with 48-1/2fi in normal bone. The calcium was de- creased to nearly one-half its normal value, while the relative amount of other mineral constituents was increased. The 9.05 greater than normal. Magnesium increased fourfold and sulphur was two-thirds normal, although the ratio P 0&0 was increased nearly fourfold. The relative increase of inorganic constituents other than calcium was greater than cozld be accounted for by simple decalcification. McCrudden assumes that this is a manifestation of the organism to supply other material to replace CaHPOé. The method by which these changes take place, as stated by Pommer (91), in 1885 is through a continuous building of new lime-free bone tissue, a cessation of the deposition of lime, and a local removal of lime from.the parts containing it. Forbes states (51) "While the cause of the deposition of the salts in bone is not definitely known we must admit: (I) That there resides in the osteogenous tissue some properly which acts like an affinity for the bone salts. (2) That this property tends to maintain a constant proportion between the salts deposit- ed. (3) That variations in the composition or reaction of the blood, as affected by disease, may modify the character of this affinity, as indicated by the composition of the bones, in definite and consistent ways, even if not to unlimited degrees." It is apparent that human osteomalacia is not due primarily to the lack of phOSphorus or calcium compounds in the food, nor to too rapid growth, pregnancy, lactation, or senility, though naturally these may be contributory or accentuating conditions, but is due rather to a disturbance of the normal functions of the bone cells. Osseous Cachexia or Osteomalacia ( In Domestic Animals) Osteomalacia of domestic animals, however, is due principally to the deficiency of the food in bone forming material, although it may be due to a lack of correct proportion between the mineral elements, bone-forming or otherwise, contained in the food. (30) The condition is easily curable. The principal prediSposing factors are pregnancy, growth, lactatiin, starvation, and unhygenic condition. Bone meal and raw rock phOSphate may be of great value as preventative or cure in regions where the disease is prevalent. Symptoms The symptoms of the disease in domestic animals can be divided into four phases: Initial phase. (84), (90), (105), (96). Irregularity, diminution and sometimes perversion of appetite. Loss of spirits. Some interference with movement. Tendency to remain lying in the stable. This phase of the disease is seldom noticed except in a region where the disease is prevalent. The second phase, however, is more noticeable. Second phase Difficulty in rising. When standing still patient may seem to be in pain. The least muscular effort when lying down may cause it to moan. Weakness becomes marked and appetite very irregular. Swellings appear, due to arthritis of extremities. Secretion of milk diminishes or ceases, and abortion is not no ommon . Third phase Characterized by fractures. Even the slightest muscular effort or violence may cause fracture. These fractures are seldom accompanied by ex- cessive bleedings, and they show little tendency to repair. Fourth phase Softening of the bones. This phase is very rarely seen in cattle because the accident so often accompanying the preceding stage necessitates slaughter. The bones become elastic, soft, and depressible. Bones of the head are usually the first to suffer becoming greatly enlarged. Osseous tissue, prOperly so-cslled, slowly disappears. The deve10pment of the disease is slow, lasting one to two months as a rule. Good mi king cows seem to be most frequently attacked, probably because of great losses of nutritive material which occur through milk. According to J. M. Parker (90), pregnant cows seam to be the most susceptible. In some localities of Texas 50% of such cows are affected. Occurrence. The disease has been reported among domestic animals in several countries and regions. D. Butcheon (49) 10 reports disease among cattle, sheep, goats and horses over a large area of Cape Colony, most prevalent on the easten coast. In Hawaii the disease occurs on soils lacking in lime. (l7) Thienaux (61) reports the disease in cattle, horses, sheep and goats. In iueensland osteomalacia is a condition affecting mainly the bones of cows and heifers chiefly of dairy stack and high producers. Creeping sickness, as the disease is sometimes called, occurs along the coastal plain region during the dry season, (19) and the first symptoms of the disease may often be noted in sections of Michigan. The disease is somewhat prevalent among cattle in sections of Montana. J. A. Reid and B. C. Aston (96) report the disease in sheep on soils lacking in lime. A Scheumut, A. Schattke and E. Loetsch (101) fed hay and cats to horses and osteomalacia appeared. The hay was some- what lower in calcium than ordinary hay. No other marked differ- ences were found. Cause. As has been stated above the chief cause of osseous cachexia in domestic animals is a deficiency of the food in bone forming constituents. It may, however, be due to a lack of correct proportion between the mineral elements contained in the food. (30) W. Dibbelt fed certain salts and found that it is possible to continuously withdraw calcium salts (excretion- in feces and urine) from the organism of a full grown animal. If animals so treated became pregnant, the fetus developed normally even as regards skeleton formation. The loss of calcium salts from the organism of the mother, however, was intensified and led to osteomalacia and atr0phy of osseous tissue. Etunni (16) ll shows that administration of CaCL3 in considerable amounts over long periods causes an inital retention of calcium followed by increased elimination. The loss is derived chiefly from the bones and may reach 15$. Deformations results wnich resemble osteomalacia. Both of these cases tend to :how that the case may be an imprOper proportion of mineral elements in the feed. Nearly all cases of osteomalacia in the domestic animal have occurred on soils lacking in lime and phOSphorus or following the use of feeds deficient in these elements. This fact backs up the belief of Forbes that the disease is due primarily to feeds low in calcium and phosphorus. Treatment. The treatment of the disease consists simply of supplying additional calcium and phosphorus to the ration in the correct prOportions. Moussu and Dollar (84) suggest as a cure the use of ground bone, tri basic or di basic calcium phosphate and feeds rich in calcium and phOSphorus. They also recommend the use of cod liver oil, although it may be expensive. Forbes claims that the disease is readily curable by the use of calcium and H hosphorus rich feeds. J. Hogen (45) says that lime and phos- *d phate shauld be added to the ration. D. Hutcheon (49) claims bone meal or bone ash controls the disease. All these results point to the use of mineral supple- ments as a preventitive or cure for osteomalacia of domestic animals. Rickets R chats is essentially a disease of dietary orgin. It is due to a lack of deposition of calcium and phOSphorus and in this way differs from osteomalacia uhich is caused by a with- drawal of them from the skeleton. According to many investigators a deficiency in the ration in calcium or phosphorus leads to rickets. It is therefore possible that young animals fed a ration low in one or both of these elements may develop the disease. Symptoms. McCollum (70) says the disease varies in severity, and individual cases present pictures which differ in some detail but all of which have certain characterisitcs in common. hickets leads to deformity, due to abnormal enlargements of the ends of bones, and to distortion due to bending because of the lack of resistance of the bones to body weight, muscular tension, and to atmoSpheric pressure. The latter factor is especially important in changing the form of the thorax. Bow legs, knock knees, enlarged joints, flat or deformed chests, and ab- normal conformation of the skull, are results of the failure of bones to develop in the normal manner. Rickets is essentially a disease of infancy and early childhood although it occurs in children of five or six years of age and even later ( rachitis tarda). The disease may be mani- fested by the second month of life. It is most frequent from the second month to the end of the year. It is usually accepted that the disease is rarely, if ever, present at birth, but since clinically recognized symptoms may cocur very early in life, and since the development of the disease is slow, it must in many cases have its beginning in the earliest days of extra uterine life. . Occurrence. Rickets occur chiefly in Europe and North America especially in large industrial centers where the peeple are living in conditions differing very widely from the natural 13 state. Park (89) states that the disease is so common in the large cities of America and Europe that few children among the poorer classes are untouched by it. Etiology. There are several factors that may be con- sidered in the etiology of rickets. These are (l) the supply of calcium in the ration, (2) the supply of phosphorus in the ration, (3) calcium and phosphorus of the blood, (4) the pro- portion of these elements in the ration, (5) the presence of an organic substance (vitamin D) which aids in their assimila- tion, (6) and to these five we might add exercise and certain kinds of light. Effect of rations low in calcium It has been believed for a long time that a lack of sufficient cabium in the diet is of prime importance in the develOpment of rickets. A survey of the history of the disease shows that rickets is most common in those parts of the world where milled cereal products, rubers, and muscle meats form the principal components of the dietary. This type of diet is essentially lacking in mineral constituents and vitamins, and has repeatedly been shown to be inadequate for tie production of satisfactory milk by the lactating mother. Recent experiments by several investigators have shown that rickets can be produced by feeding diets low in calcium. (e7). (14), (74), (7e), (75), (73) Effect of rations low in phosphorus Other experiments have illustrated the fact that rickets may also be developed by fecding rati ns low in phos)horus. (87), (103), (68) 14 Calcium an phosphorus of blood in rickets McCollum and associates (7?) state that there are two main kinds of rickets. One is characterized by a normal or nearly normal blood calcium and a low blood phos- phorus (inorganic). The other by a normal or nearly normal phosphorus but a low blood calcium. ‘ U‘ The above results of different investigator indicate that a lack of either, or perhaps both, of these elements in the diet may lead to rickets. It is, therefore, possible that an addition of mineral supplements containing calcium and phosohorus to the ration might be of value in the prevention of rickets. The proportion of calcium and phosphorus in the diet Another factor involving the metabolism of calcium and phosohorus may also be of importance in the develop- ment of the disease. HcCollum (69) makes the following state- ment: "It would seem from the results of a larger number of ex- periments now available, that the physiological relation in the diet within certain limits between the two elements (calcium and phosphorus) is of much greater importance in insuring norms calcification, than the absolu e amount of the salts themselves." He mentions the series of experiments carried on by his associates and himself and also those of Sherman and Bappenheimer (lOZ) Hess, McCann and Pappenheimer (43) in support of this theory. In discussing Sherman and Peppenheimer's work, McCollum says (72): "The basal ration employed by these investi- gators was deficient in calcium, sodium, cholorin, iron, and possibly potassium, in water-soluble B, in fat-soluble A, and in the organic factor playing a role in the prevention of richets. When calcium was added in the form of calcium lactate to the ration a marked diaproportion in calcium-phosphate ratio was produced, the calcium being nearly optimal and the phosphorus very low. Fat soluble A was almost lacking and the condition was such under which we should expect severe rickets to develop. (The authors reported rickets on this diet) When neither calcium nor phOSphorus was added, the ratio was more nearly optimum than after the calcium addition. Riiats did not develop. than potassium phOSphate in addition to calcium lactate was added to the ration the calcium to the phoSphate ratio was again more favorable and rickets was prevented." In an experiment of McCollum and associates (71) a diet containing about twice the optimum amount of calcium ”and deficient in phOSphorus and fat-soluble A was fed to rats. Very severe lesions developed. The disease depended in severity upon the deviation from the Optimal calcium-phOSphorus ratio. These investigators repeatedly observed that the addition of excessive amounts of calcium carbonate to diets which were deficient in phOSphorus and fat-soluble A induced most pronounced disturbances in the growth of the bones. ,r The effect of feeding a ration containing calcium and phosphorus in a ratio opposite to that described in the above ratio was tried by Shipley, Park, Simmonds and McCollum. (104) A diet consisting of cereal grains and legumes did not induce any growth because it was too poor in calcium. It was likewise lacking in phOSphorus although not to so marked a degree as in case of calcium low in fat soluble A, and the proteins were not 16 of the best quality. If this diet was supplemented with common salt, calcium and fat soluble A it supported good growth, although the animals were not normal. without this supplement the animals were simply brought into a state of nutritional stability. They did not grow and did not develop rickets, although the bones were not entirely normal. The addition of 10% casein, a phosphorized protein, enhanced the food value both with reapect to phosphorus and amino acids, yet when this was done rickets promptly developed. This showed that the addition of phosphorus without exceeding a concentration which is about optimum if more calcium were avail- able, may cause damage when it leads to an unfavorable ratio be- ‘tween the quantities of the two elements. When calcium salts were added with the casein the diet was greatly improved and the bones tended toward mormal structure. These results show rather conclusively that the quantitative ratio between calcium and phosphorus in the diet is an important factor in the etiology of rickets. The Mineral Retention Eactor The third factor concerned in the etiology of rickets is the so-called vitaaun D. This substance is present in considerable quantities in cod-liver oil and to a very slight degree in butter-fat. Cod-liver oil as a folk remedy has been used for many years but no direct evidence of its curative action in rickets had been obtained until recently. McCollum and Simmondh (78) showed that cod-liver oil caused deposition of calcium salts in the bones of the rachitic rat. By means of the X-ray, Howland and Park (47) showed that the.administration 17 of cod-liver oil to rachitic children was followed by the deposition of lime salt in the cartilage and bone after a period of 15 to 21 days. In the treatm nt of rickets with codlivcr oil many investigators have obtained is oracle results. J. A. Schabad (99) found that cod-liver ail increased retention of calcium in rachitis. Addition of ph :phorus to the oil in- creased the favorable action. Both the plain oil and the pHOSphorized oil increased the phosp.orus retention. The same author later found (100) in the use of phosphorized cod-liver oil in rachitis, the parti c;lar salt of calcium fed with it caused marked differences in calci1um retention. Calcium acetate caused retention in large degree. Calcium citrate and ca -lcium phosphate did not cause retention. ?hosphorus retention corresponded to calcium retention. Rucklin (98) Obtained distinct improvement in a patient and an increase inc alcium rete tion aft er aim ‘ stra- tion of cod-liver oil with Ca3(PO4)2. H. Chick, B. J. Dalyell, h. Hume, H. H. I. Hachey, H. H. Smith and H. Wimberger (9) observed that rickets developed in children during winter and spring under excellent hygenic conditions when receiving a diet composed of milk to whichs m1 ar was added. The disease was prevented by addition of cod—liver oil, less carbohydrates and a somewhat larger amiunt of milk. 8. V. Telfer (106), however, found that the )1; ‘I retention of calcium and phos orus in an eight months old -. of shimmilk and cod-liver oil c+ child was no better on a die than on a diet of cow‘s milk or cow's milk to which bitterfat J 18d been added. A series of experinents by XcCollum and associates led to their making the following conclusions: (75) "Codliver oil contains in abundance some substance which is present in butterfat in but very slight amounts and which exerts a distinct influence on bone development and enables animals to develop vith an inadequate sipgly of calcium mush better than they could other- wise do. This substance is apparent y distinct from fat soluble A which is essential for growth and uhich is associated with the prevention of ophthalmia." This factor is also thought to be present in fresh, green forage and to be destroyed by curing in sunlight, Hart, Stecnback and Hoppert (36) experimenting vith cows and goats showed that milking animals receiving grain and dry oats straw are brought into a decidedly negative calcium balance, 1.6 t02.?9 grams CaO dai y. When the dry straw was re- placed by an e;uivalent in dry matter of fresh, green material the negative balance was only 0.6 grams per day. Another goat showed a change from 1.5 h32.5 grams 080 to 0.3'b 0.8 grams CaO per day. as the intake was only 8 to 9 grams CEO daily a posi- tive balance was not eXpected. pparently there was something in the fresh, green food which affected calcium assimilation. The s me investigators later showed that eat hay dried out of sunlight but in a fairly well lighted room seemed to retain the properties of fresh, green cats. (37) In another series of experiments Hart, Steen- back, Hoppert, Bethke and Tumphrey (38) observed that come l9 produCLng 20 to 45 pounds of milk daily fed a ration of grains, silage and timothy hay were in negative calcium and ph sphorus balance. Substituting alfalfa hay for timothy hay, reduced the losses but did not make the balance positive. Positive balances with liberal milking cows was contrary to their former results. However, the alfalfa hay used in the first experiment had been cured under caps, while that used in the latter eXperiment was cured in windrows with exposure to air and sunlight. These differences in the effects of the two alfalfa ha*s may be attributed to a difference in the degree of destructiongof the vitamin assisting in assimilation due to the curring process. It is evident from these results that the same factor which is present in cod-liver oil is also probably present in some green plants. Not all green plants, however, contain this substance. The retention of calcium and phOSphorus by dairy cows depends largely on the presence of a vitamin in the hay or grasses. Relationcf exercise and sunlight to rickets The theory that lack of exercise is one of the main causes of rickets has not been upheld by investigators. Park and Rowland (89) and later Baldwin confined puppies in small cages for two or three months at a time without inducing rickets. Mellanby (82) showed that puppies on a preperly con- stituted diet did not develop ricxets when confined in such a way that they received very little exercise. Light, however, has been found to exert direct influence in offering protection from rickets. The seasonal variation indicates that sunlight 20 plays a very important part in prevention of the disease. Schmorl (89) made a study of the occurrence of the disease and found that, although rickets may begin at any time, the highest percentage of early manifestations of the disease is between November and Kay when there is the least sunlight. Raezynski in 1912 (95) correlated the relationship which exists between the incidence of rickets and lack of sunlight. He pointed out that the curve representing the number of cases admitted to the heapital began to rise sharply in January, reached a maximum in may and fell rapidly in June. This shows practically the same thing as the work of Schmorl. Hess, Unger, and Pappenheimer (44) fed rats a diet adequate in calcium but lacking in phosphorus. Rachitic lesion developed regularly. These could be prevented by exposure to direct sunlight. Powers (92) placed 18 rats on a diet high in calcium but low in phOSphorus and fat soluble A but in other re- Spects well constituted. Twelve of the rats were exposed to 242 hours of sunlight over a period of 62 days. Six were kept under ordinary roou light as controls. The controls were killed after 60 days and all showed rickets. The rats exposed to sunlight were without exception free from rickets confirmed by histological examination. Raezynski (95) reported an experiment with puppies born of the same mother in May. One was kept in sunlight from morning to evening and the other was kept in total darkness. Both pups were nursed exclusively by the mother. At the end of six weeks the two were killed for examination. The one that had lived in light was normal whereas the one kept in darkness had 1‘0 H but Poorly assimilated the mineral salts necessary for formation of a skeleton. The use of light in curing of rickets began with Huldschinsky's work (69). He found that under the influence of the ultra violet ray in children suffering from rickets there wa a deposition of calcium salts in the ends of the long bones which were observable in radiographs. Control children who were not treated with the rays showed no improvement. Winkler, Putzig, Karger, Riedel, Sacks, Erlaeker, Mengert, and Hess have since corroborated this work and have proven beyond doubt the curative value of the ultra violet ray. The effect of light on calcium assimilation seems to be the same as the effect of vitamin D. It must be noted, however, that neither can prevent rickets if the supply of calcium or phosphorus in the feed is too low. In rations .deficient in these elements the sup 1y of calcium and phOSphorus may perhaps be kept up by the use of mineral supplements. Tetany A disease often associated with rickets is tetany. A low percentage of blood calcium and calcium of the tissues usually accompanies the disease. This fact suggests the possible use of calcium rich feeds as a preventative and cure for tetaiy. It may be another case where raw rock phosohate or bone meal can be used to advantage. Calcium in blood serum in tetany; The disease is usually accompanied by a lowering of the percent of calcium in the blood serum. The normal amount as mentioned before is 10 - ll milli- 22 grams per 100 c.c. serum. Howland, HcKim and Iarriott (46) found that calcium may fall as low as 5.5 milligrams. The average of 18 cases was 5.6 milligrams. Brown, McLachlan and Simpson (7) studied 8 cases of tetany and iound the calcium to vary from 5.7 to 8 .illigrans. W. G. HcCollum and Carl Voegtlin (65) showed that the blood of animals killed in tetany had about one-half nor a1 concentration of calcium. F. F. Tisdall, B. Kramer, and J. howland (107) and A. Orgler (95) mention the fact that calcium content of the blood is markedly low during tetany. A reduction of 2. bod milligrams per 100 c.c. of serum was found by Paul Trendelenberg and n. Goebel. (108) All of these results show that tetany is accompanied by low calcium content of blood serum. Calcium balance in tetany. Accompanying the low blood calcium in tetany is very often, though not always, a negative calcium balance. In four cases of tetany studied by Artzenias (5) three showed negative balance of calcium. The fourth patient showed symptoms of latent tetany but no disturbance of the calcium balance. A. Orgler (93) found a negative balance of calcium in many cases of tetany. Underhill, Tileston and Bogart (109) pointed out that a patient with tetany showed a greater tendency to store calcium on a calcium-rich diet and a greater tendency to lose calcium on a calcium-poor diet than normal individuals under the same condition. 1‘3 (>1 Tetany in infants largely depends on the diet (93). No as sium and phosphorus increase the symptoms. Calcium and magnesium havesgood influence. In many cases the Calcium balance is negative. Parathyroid tetany and Spontaneous tetany of infants all show the same type of calcium metabolism. Parathyroids and t etany. That there is a relation between the 1arathyroid glands and calcium in the development of tetany is clearly shown by a large number of experiments. According to Robert E. Hum er (58) the a jearance of tetany following the hypo-functioning of the parathyroids is due to the disturbance of th is balance between calcium and the products of metabolism. The deficit of the calcium deprives the cclls of their defence, facilitating tlic entrance of toxic products which give rise to tetany. Paul Tren‘elenberg and h. Goebel (108) found in tetany resulting from 1ara. "vr1ideo.omy there is a deionization of (0 calcium and the total calcium of the erum is depressed. avide cs '0 H. of calcium deficiency appears within x ho rs after the Operation. I. Ott and J. C. Scott (94) proved that removal of pa ?1' th; roids alone caused tetany. This tetany was not due to a lac of calcium but to a poison in the blood. Working with cats 3. Farmer and 3.

While much of the rpe of acid intoxication the removal of {11 cf evidence pointed to calcium must be one of the factors resoonsible for tetany. Four grams daily of 08039 or calcium lactate was found to decrease the symptoms of tetan‘. (3) Both calcium and magnesium have good influence in infantile tetany (93). l Howland, KcKim and lJarriott (46) showed calcium adminis- tration causes marked effect on the course of tetany. In a few hiurs the symptoms disappear. Calcium must be continued for a long time. CaCLg administration per os causes an increase in calcium content of the serum coincident thL Cessation of symptom. although calcium of the serum does not usually return to normal. Codliver oil and phosphorus was also fund to be of benefit in cases of tetany. Eight cases studied by Brown, MacLachland and Simpson were cured by administration of phos- phorized cod-liver oil. The blood calcium was increased within a period of 10 to 17 days. The results of nearly all the investigators point to a distrubance of the calcium metabolism as a cause of tetany. The feeding of calcium salts seems to be of great benefit in telieving the animals from the symptoms, and suggests that raw rock phosphate and bone meal may be important in the ration ’ as a preventative for tetany. Ion antagonism and tetany. Several investigators have advanced the theory that tetany is due to an irritant effect (C 03 of certain ions. Loeb (62) exceriuenting 1ith frogs, found that when certain ions Came in contact vith nerves a tetanous condition resulted, while at 11er ions, if present, tended to counteract this efiect. sodium fluoride, disodium ghosph t -“.-‘ \ ‘i r“ . 1 " -.r \_ : fi‘,,\ ‘ . . h. - w-‘i‘, - — ,I‘ ‘ .nate, s0diuo one ate, so_iin citrate, SOleJ tartrate, I an. and phos and acid sod ium carbonate, or the eomoounds of sodium whose anious form insoluble calcium compodnds.

Alkalinity seems to aid sodium ions in irodu cin a CO L irritability. The addition of CaCLo to a sodium citrate solu- tion stopped the contact reaction. 1.) A. Orgler (93) found that c ciio and magnesium have a good inf oence on the symptoms of tetany. Potassium and phosphorus seem to increase the irritation. Parhow and “.L nit esco (L 8) f1und that calcium seems to exercise a sedative action on nerves Joseph and Heltzer (53) using calcium chloride were able to completely inhibit all irritability of nerves and .7) 1.: muscle; this inhibition was growtply 1 ovemo able b subseiuent use of sodium chloride.

(15), (64), (c5) Tisdale, Kramer and howlan found tha the sodium and magnesium content of the serum of children suffcring from active infantile tetany falls within limits of normal. The K content is somewhat elevated. The cale Lim marlzedls diminished below normal. The ratio (Ha,K : (02,125) 11 normal infants is 27.6 : 1, while in cases of active tetany it is 44.5 : 1. however, if calcium were to remain the same the ratio t'>uld be 37.8 The change in ratio is, therefore, due almost wholly to decrease in calcium concentration. The results of these investigators point to the fact thar calcium and magnesium ions have a soothing effect on the nervous system while sodium and potassium ions jroduce irritability. Tetany would seem to be due to the presence of more sodium and potassium than calcium and magnesium in the body tissues. The feeding of miner l suiolements high in calcium mav correct this condition. Calcium and ?hos2horus Requirements The literature concerning the ash reouirements of dairy cows is quite frarmentary and unsat‘sfactory. This makes it difficult to get any trustworthy estimates of the amount or kind of calcium and phosghnrus com ounds reguired in the feed of the dary animals. The iniluence of function is so great that it is necessary to discuss this subject from a functional point of view. Requirements for maintainence Several factors may cause a change in the amount of ash necessary in the feed for maintaining the ash in the body. Armsby (4) states that ”The effort of the body to maintain the osmotic pressure of its fluids by removing a surplus of some one ingredient may bring ab‘lt an impoverishment as regards other elements and so create a need for a supply of the latter in the feed. The action of the kidneys in eliminating surplus salts and so preventing an increase in the osmotic pressure is not confined tothe particular salt in excess but extends to others also." He adds, "Small amounts of some acids tend to escape oxidation in the body and to be excreted in the urine carrying a corresponding amiunt of base with them. Oxalic acid and itssalts are oxidized with difficulty and tend to impoverish the body in calcium by the formation of insoluble calcium oxalate. This acid is liable to be especially injurious to young ruminants while in mature ruminants it seems to be largely destroyed in the first stomach”. "Long continued maintainence on abnormal feed or under conditions favoring acid production in the body may result in extracting from the body comparatively large amounts of mineral matter even to the extent apparently of bringing about pathological changes. These 9 1 W fluctuations of bone ash effect the sea as a vhole and the per- cent composition of the ash remains abut constant." "‘u’ith rations containing a larger proportion of roughage there is no reason to fear losses either Specifically of fixed bases or in is be the case with '1' 0 general of total ash. Such would {lmost alas ordinary maintainence rations of cattle. As regards maint inence it seems clear that the ash reruirement is a uualitative rather than a quantitative one. It is the proportions far more than the total amounts of ash that are important." Effect of Lactation The supply of calcium and phosphorus in milk must come either from the feed or from the body of the animal. If the skeleton is supplying these materials to the milk, the animal must be able to replace these elements fnam the ash of the food, otherwise pathological changes will take place and the animal may die. It is necessary, therefore, to have sufficient calcium 6' DJ an phOSphorus in the fead to cover the supply excreted in the H ni k H 0 Effect of Pregnancy According to Eckles and Trowbridge (42) the body of a new born calf weighing 80 pounds contains 2. pvunds of mineral matter. Additiinal calcium and phOSphorus should be furnished in the feed of the pregnant animal in order to meet the demands of the developing fetus. This ash material would necessarily have to come from the pregnant animal and should be supplied in the feed. Amount of Calcium and phospnirus needed in feed. DJ CD H) w. :t H. C."

Qhe main dirficrlty arises from the fact that we do not snow what percent of the ash in the feed is d-gesti ole. .D Anger (2) showed that Storage oi phosphorus and calcium took place when large amounts were fed, 60 grams CEO and 90 to 100 grams PiO5 being sszicient.

Cows receiving only 46.7 grams oer d-y had negative balances. Nordon, Hart and Patton (51) found a cow storing phOSphorus when fed only ?7 grams daily. This cow was giving 16.72 ailos daily ( about 54 pounds) and weighed 906 pounds. From work of Khuen {55) Forbes computed that in addition to the amiunt of ghosjhorus in the milk a cow mus: receive more than .07 milligrams 300: per kilogram live weight. From Khur n s L; work it can also be fig red that .007 grams CEO per kilogram live weight above the amount in milk is needed. A. R.

However, there is a difference in the physical structure of the two materials. Bone meal is classed as an organic substance thile raw rock phOSphate is classed as an inorganic substance. V he phoSphate rock used in this experiment came from P3 Tennessee fields. These deposits are the remains of very ancient micro-organic sea life. They are classed in the ordovician period. Forms of life were crustacea, 81d the phospha‘ic beds of rock are the leached residues of limestone beds formed at locations where these types of life were most abundant and which constituted a high percentage of the limestone beds. Later most of the calcium carbonate RES leached out leaving the phOSphatic residue. The organis 8 making up these deposits became coated uith siliciois layers of a coral like structure, and it is to these encasements that we owe the existence of the calcium phOSphate contents today; because if these encasements had not been impervious to acid waters, such contents w uld have leached away ages ago. However, these same silicious walls today present a problem in the preparation of raw rock phOSphate for both soil application and animal feeding. They must be broken down be- fore the calcium phoSphate contents are available. This silica and other impurities may cause a difference in the availability of the calcium and phosphorus of raw rock phOSphate and of bone meal, as the calcium phOSphate of bone meal is not encased in these silica walls. The rock phosphate used in this experiment was a very finely grwund rock from the Tennessee beds. It was the commerical raw rock phosihate ”floats" and had been specially 1' :3 (31 prepared by the Thomson Thosphate Company of Chicago, Illinois. The bone meal was #0 zined from Darling and Conisig of Chicago and was made from raw bones which were steamed to re- move flesh and fats and to destroy any disease germs and then finely ground.

Kohler (59) found precipitated calciuz phoSphate, bone ash, and steamed bone m;al all assim ilaole b5? 1min, the first preparation feur times as completely as the last two. Hart McCollum and duller (33) studied the role of lUOT‘“QlO phos- phorus in nutrition of swine by feeding, slaughter, and balance experiments. They made the lollo'inu conclusions: 1 Animals fed a low protein, supplemented with inorganic phosphates, made as vigorous deve lep1tnts as others receiving their phos;hwrus sup ly holly in organic form. 2 ?recipitated calcium phosphate, a mixture of di and tri calcium phosphates, gave no better results than did floats, a crude tri calcium phosphate. Forbes and associates at the Ohio Experiment btation in a series of experiments with pgis compared different com- pounds of phoSphorus and calcium. Theyfound (21) that bone meal when added to a ration which was low in calcium and phos- phorus greatly increased the ash and the strength of bones, but did not increase the percentage of protein in the growth produced. This would indicate that bone meal cannot serve all the bodily needs for phosphorus. Some other compounds of this element are needed for muscle and tissue. Phytin from wheat bran caused a marked increase in muscle development. A cereal ration {36) was fed to growing swine. This ration was supplemented by pulverized limestone, bone fourL J. raw rock phoSphate floats, and calcium carbonate, and the mdsbolism with the different supplements studied. On the basal ration of corn, oil meal, wheat middlings andHaCl there was a loss of calcium, a subnormal retention of magnesium and phOSphorus, and a high acidity and NH5 in the urine. The feeding of lime materially caused marned increase in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus retention. The carbonate lowered urinary acidity and H35, while precipitated bone flour in- creased these groducts. ?recipitated calcium carbonate and steamed bone produced relatively very dense and strong bones, while the raw rock phosghate produced bones that were only slightly denser and not ouite as strong as when no supplement was fed. Precipitated bone was intermediate. Rock ohOSphate ‘- produced no greater strength of skeleton in proportion to live weight than did a ration without su.plement. Steamed Lone, o o no p. m (D g. precipitated bone flour, pulverized limestone and CaCOB marked increase in the stre11g h of bone. Forbes also determined the palatibility of mineral salts preparations to cattle (36). He fo1nd that steamed.bone is more palatable to cows than is precipitated C a033, pre ci1mit ('1‘ ed bone phosphate, or rock “h001hst, This hone preparation is also more palatable to heifers than was marl, pulverized limestone, or precipitated 08003. Ordinary packer's steamed bone meal was more '\,I palatable to cattle than s ecial Steamed bone meal, although the latter was taken freely. Hart, tteenback, Hoppart, Bethke and Humphrey (58) working with dairy cattle producing 30 to 40 pounds of milk found that the animals were in a 1H6 etive balance on a ration composed of grains and their by-products, corn silage and timothy hay. Substituting alfalfa for timothy reduced the losses but did not make the balance positive. This was contrary to their former work, but in the arlier attempt the alf a1 is had been cured under caps while the alfalfa used in this experiment had been cured in windrows with exposure to air and sunlight for four days. Addition of bone meal to the timothy hty ration did not result in positive balances or even eiuilibrium although the losses were reduced to some exteilt as comyo .red with unsuo1le1ented hay. B. F.

IcCollum points out the fact that there are tRO kinds of rickets, one characterized by normal phosphorus and low calcium of the blood and the other by normal calc inn and low phoSphorus. flcCollum has also shown that the Quantitative ratio between calcium and phosphorus in the diet is an important factor in the etiology of ricaets. Recentwork has pointed to an absence of a factor which has been called vitamin D and which aids in the assimilation of calcium as a cause for rickets. This factor 18 present in large quantities in cod- iver oil and to a 813211 e} :tent in 40 butterfat. It is also present in certa'n green plants. Treat- ment of rachitic gatients with cod-liver oil has produced good Sun ight and ultra violet ray hsve the sane efiect on (0 calcium ass igiilation and ric ate a the antirachitic vitamin. Rickets does not occur among dai ry cattle. Conditions similar to rickets, however, exist among dairv calves. Most authors believe that richets is not {resent in the unborn fetus, but since clinically recognized s"nltoq° -p ear W r“ early in life, the first stage must occur in the earliest days of extra ute; i116 life. The diet of the mother may in ve some effect on the development of rickets in the offsoring and the ration of the ore nant mil: cow should contain elfficient calcium and yhosghorus. Tetany is another di serzse that may be due to a di s urbed calcium metabolism. Low calcium of the blood and usually negative calcium balances accompany tetany. A review of the literature shone that tetany can be cured by feeding or in- Jecting calcium salts. The work of several inve H1 gators show that tetany is due to an increased proportion of initating ions in the tissue over the ions that sup»ress huiat Hi ;. Sodium and potass'um ions stimulate, while calcium and mag- 1esium ions repress or sooth. Feeding mineral sup laments high in calcium would have a curative effect on tetany. There is very little to be found in the literature re- garding the calcium and phosphorus requirements of dairy cows. Small amoints of each are needed for naint inence because q these elements are withdrawn with others curing the ordinary 4.1 n“ 9 life processes. Ehe l rge duartities of both in milk and in the fetis make the reiuirment much greater during lactation and pregnancy. No definite conclusion can be drawn as to the exact reiuireicnts. Hany of our common feeds contain large Quantities of both calcium and ghosphorus. In general, calcium is found in largest quantities in roughages and especially leglmcs. Host of the common g sins are low in calcium. Thosphorusis found in larger quantities in the concentrates especially cotton- seed meal, wheat bran, shimnilk, and linseed oil meal. All of the roughages are low in phosphorus. Among the conmon mineral supplements the following con- tain both calcium and phOSphorus, raw rock cheaphate, acid phosghate, and bone meal. Those containing calcium alone are limestone rock, marl, chalk, and wood ashes. Bone meal is a so-celled organic source while the others are inorganic sources. Most of the work comparing mineral supplements has been done with animals other tuan dairy cows. The review of literature would indicate that bone meal is more assimilable and as far as growth is concerned superior to raw rocn ghos- phate. It is at least more palatable. No work has been done with dairy cattle directly comparing bone meal and raw rock phosphate and this eXperiment was started in order to deternLne the relative availability of the calcium and phOSphorus of bone meal and raw robk phosphate when fed to lactating dairy cows.

The object of the experiment is to determine the relative value of raw rock phosphate and tone meal as s urces of calcium and phosyhorus when used as sugple- ments to the ratiin of dairy cattle.
