title: Variations with age in serum iron and iron-binding capacity in zebu cattle.
abstract: The variations with age in serum iron concentration and iron-binding capacity in zebu cattle were investigated. Serum iron concentration was lower in calves from birth to four weeks of age than in older cattle. Total iron-binding capacity decreased while percentage saturation increased with advancing age.
