Eggs from hens maintained since hatching on a diet low in pantothenic acid showed a markedly lowered pantothenic acid content. This increased rapidly when the diet was supplemented with synthetic pantothenic acid. From quantitative data secured, it is concluded that within the limits tested the pantothenic acid content of the egg is directly proportional to that of the diet.
