A Comparison of the Nutritive Values of Raw, Pasteurized and Evaporated Milks for the Dog¹

Three Text Figures and One Plate (Six Figures)

1. Whole raw milk supplemented with iron, copper, and manganese, and cod liver oil, allowed good growth and reproduction (two gestations) in fox terrier dogs. It was necessary to add cod liver oil in order to maintain a normal blood calcium and phosphorus level.

2. When evaporated milk was fed under similar conditions most of the young born showed either muscle dystrophy or a hemorrhagic condition of the pericardium, lungs, and brain. Vitamin E was effective in curing or preventing the muscle dystrophy but did not prevent the hemorrhagic condition.

3. The young born to the female on fortified pasteurized milk showed some signs of dystrophy and hemorrhage, but the symptoms were not as severe as those observed in the case of evaporated milk.

4. These deficiencies were only produced by repeated pregnancy and lactation since all the milks supported good growth of the males for almost 3 years and maintained the females in good condition except under the added strain of reproduction.
