Sinclair(S-1) miniature swine were fed ad libitum either a 16 or 4% protein diet for 32 weeks. Mean serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus concentrations were lower from 2 through 28 weeks on test for the undernourished pigs than for the controls. The pigs fed the low protein diet exhibited an increased mean serum calcium/phosphorus ratio from 2 through 20 weeks on test. The undernourished pigs had a lower mean serum

sodium level from 14 through 24 weeks on test. Mean serum concentration of potassium, urea nitrogen, and creatinine were not altered; whereas, from 2 through 28 weeks on test, the undernourished pigs had a greater mean serum chloride level than did the controls.
