The folic acid requirement of chicks for growth, feathering, and hemoglobin formation has been determined using a purified diet containing 2.0 μg of preformed folic acid per 100 g of diet. The total folic acid content of the basal diets as determined microbiologically following incubation with chick liver was 5 μg per 100 g of diet for Experiment 1 and 15 μg for Experiments 2 and 3.
