The normal levels and the distributions, as well as the variations due to being bred outside of the host, have been observed of the glycogen contents of normal pig ascaris. The remarkable variation is noticed in the glycogen contents of pig ascaris collected freely, but the individual differences are not so remarkable in those of the pig ascaris collected from the same host. The differences according to sex are also remarkable. The distribution by percentage of the glycogen of female pig ascaris is seen in the order of muscle, reproductive organ, digestive organ, cuticle and body fluid. In the breeding experiment, it is found that ascaris can make glycogen from glucose, but not from Polytamine or glycerin, and that the glycogen can be utilized or produced in either aerobic condition.
