General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the effect of vitamin A deficiency in chicks on tissue ascorbic acid, plasma oxidant status and antioxidant capacity, and renal GULO oxidase activity in broiler chickens is investigated. Chicks are fed a practical diet with vitamin A (control) or the same diet without supplemental vitamin A from day-old to 23 or 30 days of age. Growth, feed intake, relative weights of bursa of Fabricius, liver, spleen and testis are significantly reduced in vitamin A-deficient chicks. Vitamin A deficiency depresses renal GULO activity between 20% to 30% Gallus gallus
