The Effect of Diet on the Vitamin A Content of the Bovine Fetal Liver1

Werner Braun and B. N. Carle

Division of Veterinary Science, University of California, Berkeley

During an experiment in which cattle were exposed to Brucella abortus, pregnant cows were separated into four dietary groups with different vitamin A intake. The vitamin A content of the livers of twenty fetuses aborted by these cows was measured. At the same time, the vitamin A storage of a few mothers in each dietary group was determined from liver samples obtained by partial hepatectomy immediately after abortion. It was found that the vitamin A content of the fetal liver, although low, was in direct relationship to the mother's diet.
