Abstract

Three groups of one-day-old chicken were raised for a period of 8 weeks on a ration which differed only in the level of Vit. A content. At the end of this period the rate of passage of food along the alimentary tract of the birds were investigated radiologically using barium sulphate as a radioopaque substance. It was found that hyper-as well as hypovitaminosis A both lead to retardation of the rate of passage of food along the digestive tract with consequent retardation of the growth. The reasons for such retardation have been discussed.
