The Control of Filicidal Cannibalism by Vitamin B₁₂

Biochemistry Department, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven

The effect of adding crystalline vitamin B₁₂ to the Bills breeding diet, in order to control filicidal cannibalism, has been investigated. A level of vitamin B₁₂ comparable to that found in a diet supplemented with 3% of desiccated liver has been shown to be effective. Statistical analysis of the data has shown that it is the vitamin B₁₂ component of the liver which provides the necessary factor in the control of filicidal cannibalism.
