Blood levels of calcitonin (CT), calcium (Ca), inorg. phosphate (P) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in 27 bulls of Swedish Red amd White Breed (SRB) and 21 Swedish Friesian Breed (SLB) were studied. There was a significant lowering of Ca, P, ALP and CT with increasing age. The fact that the osteopetrotic syndrome is increasing with age in bulls and that the CT level in blood is decreasing with age does not support the idea that an increased CT discharge could be responsible for the osteopetrotic syndrome in bulls
