The influence of sex, age and strain of chicken on liver biotin content.

Abstract
Liver biotin concentrations were substantially lower in 2 to 4-week old broilers than in similarly aged layer-type chicks. Liver biotin concentrations plateauxed at 3 weeks of age. No consistent effect of sex was observed on liver biotin concentrations. The results are discussed in terms of susceptibility to biotin deficiency and fatty liver and kidney syndrome.
