No dietary effects were observed in dogs maintained for 72 weeks on a diet including irradiated beef or irradiated flour. The average growth of dogs fed the irradiated beef or flour diet was compared with that of dogs maintained on a ration containing nonirradiated horse meat and wheat flakes. No statistically significant differences were observed. Data are included on a study of hemorrhages in rats fed a nonirradiated diet. (C. H.)
