| Abstract | Vitamin A deficiency is either due to an absolute deficiency of vitamin A or its precursor carotene in the diet or secondary in which the dietary supply of vitamin A or its precursor is adequate but their digestion, absorption or metabolism is interfered with to produce deficiency at the tissue level. Secondary vitamin A deficiency may occur in case of chronic diseases of liver or intestine or due to deficiency of zinc (Radostits et al., 2000). Absorption, metabolism, hepatic release, transport, and tissue utilization of vitamin A may depend on adequate zinc status while severe vitamin A deficiency may reduce absorption and lymphatic transport of zinc by altering synthesis of a zincdependent binding protein (Bendich, 1993). |
