The work of Phillips et al. (5, Bortree and associates (2) demonstrated that chloretone increased vitamin C levels of both the cow and the bull. Scheidenhelm and co-workers (7) showed that chloretone had a beneficial effect on slow-breeding bulls. More recently Bortree et al. (1) concluded that feeding chlorobutanol will increase blood plasma ascorbie acid levels in calves, heifers, cows and bulls. Throughout these latter studies, a dose of 5 grams fed with the grain per day and continued for 105 days was quite satisfactory and produced no harmful effects.
