FAT AND CHOLESTEROL ABSORPTION IN RELATION TO BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN THE COCKEREL

Abstract
There are marked individual differences in the hypercholesteremic response of cockerels to high cholesterol diets. It is demonstrated that differences in the amount of cholesterol absorbed from the intestine are primarily responsible for differences in blood cholesterol level of cockerels fed 1 or 2% of cholesterol in the diet. Cholesterol absorption is related to the efficiency with which dietary fat is absorbed by individual birds.
