Day-old chickens were treated with 3.25 mg vitamin E/bird/day per os, via the drinking water, for two weeks. The vitamin E content of both t he liver and the blood plasma was significantly higher in the treated chickens than in the untreated controls. The positive effect was more pronounced in the liver than in the blood plasma.
