FIG. 1. CALF FROM COW 562 
Wheat embryo 3 parts, corn starch 4 parts, corn stover 7 parts. The embryo of the 
wheat grain carries a considerable mass of toxicity. Massing this in the ration brought on 
early abortion with a gestation period of six to seven months. This ration was a so-called 
'balanced' ration 
FIG. 2. CALF FROM COW 648 
Second gestation on a ration of wheat grain 8 parts, wheat gluten 0.3 part, wheat straw 
2.9 parts, alfalfa hay 2.9 parts. In the first gestation this cow produced a strong calf on 
this ration. In this second gestation period the calf was carried to full time, but was weak 
and was fed from a bottle; grew strong, but the front legs were weak and it stood for the 
first few days of its life on the first joints. This calf was hlind. The mother remained in 
apparently good condition. This again illustrates the cumulative effect of the wheat toxicity.
