Show Producing Abortion and Other Breeding Diseases It has been demonstrated very conclusively con-clusively that it is possible to produce abortion and other breeding diseases due to a lack of the proper feeding elements being included in the animal's ani-mal's ration. The University of Wisconsin Wis-consin iri some tests run several years ago demonstrated that certain rations would riot enable the animal to successfully suc-cessfully reproduce its kind. Yet these same rations, according to our usual feeding standards, were balanced. It was thought for a time that this was due to the fact that certain vitamines were not present in suflicient quantities; quanti-ties; It was determined later that this was not the trouble at all, but that the real trouble was the lack of suflicient mineral matter or ash in these rations. While It Is not likely that, under ordinary or-dinary conditions, rations such as were fed in this experimental work would be used, there is no question in our mind that rations and feeding practices prac-tices equally as dangerous are practiced prac-ticed in inost sections of the United States at this time. |
