Is Cobalt A Dietary Essential for the Rabbit1

John F. Thompson2 and Gordon H. Ellis

U. S. Plant, Soil, and Nutrition Laboratory, Agricultural Research Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Ithaca, New York

Rabbits fed whole milk and corn grain require less than 0.1 µg of cobalt per animal per day. This finding is discussed in the light of the hypothesis that the need for cobalt is peculiar to ruminant species and may be concerned primarily with biological processes in the rumen.
