The experiment has been carried out on twelve cb. race calves, all being 5 to 31 days old. During the experimental period each calf was examined 12 times in order to determine the total water volume within its constitution by the antipyrine method. The total water amount in litres significantly increased during the experimental period and this fact found its statistical confirmation. The values obtained, proved to be in positive and essential correlation with the age of calf, its weight and body area. The observed total water volume increase was caused by a quickly increasing intracellular liquid volume. The total water volume per one kilogram of a calf body however, systematically decreased during the whole experimental period. The phenomenon was due to a significant reduction of the extracellular fluid amount in ml/kg. The results that have been obtained in the experimental appeared to be negatively but veritably correlated with the age of examined animals. The total water volume per square metre of a calf body area during the first month of animals life showed only slight and statistically negligible fluctuations.

D000367	Age Factors	Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
