Such deficiencies are furthermore aggravated in processing maize. Two maize products, one a whole white maize meal and the other a white maize flour (processed) were studied. These maize products were incorporated in balanced rations enriched with a vitamin product known to contain some of the essential members of the B-complex vitamins. Growth tests using adolescent albino rats were carried out. The results clearly indicated the beneficial effect of the supplementation.en© 1953 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © 2016 University of Pretoria.
