Abstract
A specimen of TCESOM of known, high toxicity to cattle was fed to swine at a level of 10 to 20% of the total ration throughout their period of growth and reproduction and to the offspring until they reached market weight. No decisive evidence of toxic effects was obtained. Swine are much more resistant than cattle to the toxic effects of the factor present in TCESOM which produces aplastic anemia in the bovine.
