Studies of the skeleton of the sheep VII. A further comparison of skeletal resorption during pregnancy and lactation in ewes fed diets differing in digestible crude-protein value

1. An experiment has been carried out to compare the results of feeding the B-group diets of Parts II and III of this series to ewes during pregnancy and lactation. 2. The ewes fed a diet containing maize in place of dried molassed sugar beet pulp again maintained better bodily and skeletal condition. 3. The basis for other experiments in this series is discussed.
