Objective(s): To monitor the intensity of ultraviolet B radiation from the sun and collect blood samples from collared lammings for vitamin D content determination. The purpose of this work is to determine if native people whose diet is changing will need supplementary vitamin D to prevent certain types of disease, (e.g. rickets).
