Abstract
SUMMARYA re-examination of the results from 374 sheep used in previovis studies of calcium metabolism show there is a highly significant linear relationship between endogenous faecal loss of Oa and food intake, endogenous loss increasing by about 0·64 mg/day/kg body weight for each 1 g/day/kg body weight increase in food intake. This loss was unaltered by Ca intake or by pregnancy and lactation but was slightly higher in young animals than in adult animals given the same Ca intake on a body-weight basis. It is suggested that a variable factor for endogenous Ca loss, based upon some measure of level of feeding, should be introduced into rationing schemes.
