The content of vitamins retinol (as retinol acetate), cholecalcipherol and tocopherol, the content of fatty acids and amino acids in eggs of two groups of Japanese quail selected for low (LC) and high (HC) yolk cholesterol concentration were evaluated. 1. Content of retinol (as retinol acetate) was in LC-group 228.7 and in HC-group 294.5 microg/100g wet yolk (P</-0.05). 2. Content of cholecalcipherol was in LC-group 1.341 and in HC-group 1.667 microg/100 g wet yolk. 3. Content of tocopherol was in LC-group 2.89 mg and in HC-group 3.93 mg/100 g wet yolk. 4. By analysing yolk fatty acids we found in LC-group 11.02 % myristic acid but none was found in HC-group. We found in HC-group 8.12 % stearic acids but none was found in LC-group. The content of oleic acids was by 12 % higher in LC-group. In HC-group the content of unsaturated fatty acids with longer chain was twice as high as in LC-group.
