Abstract
DURING the course of a recent investigation1 it was found that there was a substantial fall in the plasma citric acid of pullets associated with the onset of reproductive activity. The mean plasma citric acid-level of immature pullets was 8.2 mgm./100 ml. compared with 2.8 mgm./100 ml. in laying birds.
