[Mineral metabolism in calves during periods of milk feeding and weaning based on selected parameters in the blood].

Concentrations of calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium (Tab. I) were followed in the blood serum of calves in the period of milk diet and weaning (at the age of nine weeks), and the results were evaluated with respect to their deviations from the reference values. The average concentrations of calcium and inorganic phosphorus did not show any significant variations and they were within the range of reference values.
