Filicidal Cannibalism by Female Albino Rats

Biochemistry Department, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven, Connecticut

The effect of adding whole liver powder to the Bills breeding diet in order to control filicidal cannibalism was investigated. Three per cent of liver significantly lowered the incidence of this action; a 1% level was insufficient.

The addition of either one or 3% of whole liver powder to the mothers' diet significantly increased the weaning weights of the progeny.

Data are presented which show that progeny from such mothers, when used in the line test bioassay for vitamin D, do not adversely affect the results of this assay.
