The extent to which chronic calciuric effects of excess protein, sodium and potassium were reflected in fasting and acute urinary excretion was determined in 10 healthy premenopausal women. Chronic excretion was measured after one week of stabilization to a high protein (HP) diet by adding 50 g ...
Iodine as potassium iodide was fed to sexually mature pullets and hens that had completed one year of lay, to study the effects upon egg production, fertility, hatchability, embryonic mortality and incubation time. Dietary intakes at 5 levels from zero to 5000 ppm iodine were fed in a practi...
