Abstract
Average vitamin E levels in liver and skeletal muscle of young rabbits with hepatic coccidiosis were significantly lower than in non-infected animals. Low liver vitamin E reserves were found in infected animals even if no gross liver lesions or oocysts of Eimeria stiedae were present. The practical significance of this finding is discussed. Liver vitamin A reserves were always low in infected rabbits with extensive liver damage.Keywords
