Factors Required by Chicks Maintained on a Heated Diet1

Harry A. Waisman, R. C. Mills and C. A. Elvehjem

Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison

In addition to the six crystalline factors of the B group of vitamins, growing chicks maintained on the heated diet require the eluate factor in yeast (factor U), cartilage, and biotin. Factor U and biotin may be supplied by liver residue. Pantothenic acid, biotin and one or more factors in the factor U fraction are destroyed by the dry heat treatment.

1 Published with the approval of the Director of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station. We are greatly indebted to Wilson Laboratories for the various liver fractions, to Abbott Laboratories for halibut liver oil, and to Merck and Company for the synthetic vitamins used throughout these experiments.

Manuscript received 9 March 1942.
