Abstract
EXPERIMENTS have been made in this laboratory with the view of tracing the possible influence of egg production on plasma alkali reserve in the domestic fowl. White Wyandotte pullets were fed on a ration supplemented with 5 per cent calcium carbonate, and others on the same ration without this supplement. The plasma alkali reserve (determined by the Van Slyke–Cullen technique) of the birds on the low calcium ration fell slightly at the start, and then remained at a level between 58 and 66 vol. carbon dioxide per cent; the onset of laying did not have any noticeable effect on plasma alkali reserve.
