Extract

1. The teeth of sheep that had been fed from 6 months of age for 12 months on diets low in calcium or in phosphorus and vitamin D content were compared with those of similar animals fed a control diet.

2. The low calcium diet depressed the development of both dentine and enamel but had a greater effect on enamel than dentine, while the low phosphorus and vitamin D diet depressed dentine development slightly and had practically no effect on enamel.

3. The percentages of ash of the dentine and enamel were not significantly affected by the diets fed.
