The ontogeny of calcium ingestion and preference was examined in parathyroidectomized (PTX) rats. Sucklings were tested by means of oral infusion. Four-day-old neonatal rats increased ingestion of CaCl2 after PTX but the effect was not specific to calcium because intake of MgCl2 was also increased.
