Abstract
High oral intakes of folic acid are stored inefficiently in chick livers and have little, if any, effect on the content of this vit. in chick muscle tissue. Chicks given large oral doses of folic acid and then placed on a folic acid-deficient diet grew as well as chicks receiving an equivalent atnt. of folic acid by injn. The distribution of folic acid in some representative chick tissues was studied.Keywords
