Rats fed a ration containing raw pork died of hemorrhage. There was less mortality when the raw pork was replaced by roasted pork, but the results were not conclusive. The growth of the rats fed roasted pork was acutely depressed but was improved by adding methionine and cystine. Rats fed raw or roasted irradiated beef (B6) ration died of hemorrhage although the growth of the rats fed roasted B6 was acutely depressed. Amino acid (methionine, cystine, and lysine) supplemation increased the growth of the rats but had no significant effect on mortality or on the number of plasmas with prolonged prothrombin time. Rats fed B0 or B6 ration which do not contain water soluble vitamins died of starvation. B6 rats, however, died earlier than B0 rats. In the presence of water soluble vitamins, only a few rats fed B0 but almost all the rats fed B6 ration died of hemorrhage. Vitamin K at the doses used completely prevented the mortality due to hemorrhage in B0 but partially in B6 group. Supplementation of the B6 ration with amino acids and vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin) equivalent to the quantity destroyed by radiation did not significantly influence the mortality due to hemorrhage, prothrombin time, number of plasma samples with prolonged prothrombin time. or the body weight gain.
