Abstract
1. A procedure for the extraction and purification of antimicrobial factors from the stomach contents of sucking rabbits is described. 2. The fatty acid composition of the hydrogenated `rabbit stomach oil' is given. 3. The most active factors isolated were identified as free n-decanoic acid and n-octanoic acid. 4. The antimicrobial activities of some fatty acids and that of `rabbit stomach oil' are compared.
