Extract

The skeletons of most of a group of lame buffalo from an area around Pasir Puteh and of some of a group of similarly lame animals from an area S.W. of Pasir Mas were poorer than those of a control group from around Kota Bharu. Analyses of blood and liver indicated that the defective mineralization of the skeleton was caused by a shortage of phosphorus rather than of calcium or copper.

Evidence for a relationship between lameness and the quality of the skeleton was not strong and further study including a feeding experiment is needed to establish the validity of this.
