Abstract
Post-natal development of plasma and urine osmolality, as well as plas ma renin activity, aldosteron and cortisol levels were studied in calv es between 1 and 9 months of age. The ratio of urine to plasma osmolal ity rose from 0.8 at an early post natal age to 3.8 at the end of the study period. Plasma renin activity, plasma aldosteron and cortisol le vels did not show any change during the post-natal development period. The plasma concentrations of these hormones were in the same range as is found in the adult.
