Biological Activity of Retinoic Acid Ester in the Domestic Fowl : Production of Vitamin A Deficiency in the Early Chick Embryo

RETINOIC acid (vitamin A acid) is unable to replace retinol (vitamin A alcohol) in reproduction and vision in rats fed a vitamin A-deficient diet 1,2 . Results of similar tests with retinoic acid in poultry are presented in this communication.
