Abstract
IT is well established from experiments carried out in New Zealand1 and elsewhere that certain forms of pining in stock can be prevented or cured by the addition of cobalt to the soil. The cobalt content of the herbage is thereby increased to a value above that at which pining due to cobalt deficiency occurs. We2 have demonstrated this in experiments in eastern Ross-shire.
