The metabolism of phytol was investigated in 12 sheep, each given a single oral dose of 14C-phytol. In the unsaponifiable material of abomasum liquor or liver tissue. 14C-phytol radioactivity was recovered unchanged as the administered compound or as an unidentified metabolite of phytol. Most of the radioactivity in the saponifiable material of tissues, after esterification. occurred in the methyl ester of phytanic acid. A portion of the phytol occurring in the rumen lumen was converted to phytanic acid.
