DISTRIBUTION OF STRONTIUM IN THE BOVINE SKELETON

Five Hereford cattle, that had spent their entire lives in northeast Nevada under range pasture conditions, were slaughtered in May 1960. Seven bones were removed from each animal, ashed, Ca and Sr were separated, and the amounts of Ca, Sr, and Sr/sup 90/ were determined for each bone. Data are tabulated for each bone and for different ages. The incisors contained more Ca and less Sr/sup 90/ and the frontal bone was higher in both total Sr and Sr/sup 90/ than the other bones. A calf had less Ca and Sr in its skeleton than older animals. The concentration of Ca apparently reached equilibrium in the skeleton at 1 year, while total Sr exhibited a progressive increase. The concentration of Sr/sup 90/ apparently reached a maximum in the 2-year-old animal and remained about the same thereafter, although it was somewhat lower in older animals. (C.H.)
