Eight experiments, two with poults and six with chicks, were
undertaken to determine the requirement for supplemental folic acid
as related to protein level and major protein source. Protein levels
for chicks and poults were 21, and 28 or 28 and 32%, respectively.
Major protein sources were soybean meal, fish...
Ten experiments were conducted to determine the vitamin requirements
of coturnix quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) to 2 weeks
of age using a glucose monohydrate-isolated soybean protein diet.
A preliminary study consisting of 2 separate experiments was
conducted to determine those vitamins essential to the growing
coturnix. This study revealed that...
Studies have been conducted with broilers and layers fed
manually formulated or linear programmed rations. Experiments
with broilers have involved the following: 1) determining the lysine
requirement with and without cottonseed meal in the ration, 2) formulating
by linear programming rations made up from different reported
amino acid mixtures and...
Two lots of six White Leghorn male chickens were fed diets containing
7.3% linoleic acid and either .075% ethoxyquin (lot 1) or 32.4
mg/kg of added vitamin E (lot II) for 47 weeks both of which were
designated as positive controls. A third group (lot III) containing 30
males received...
Studies were conducted with Indian River "Hybro" broiler chicks
and Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station dwarf and normal White
Leghorn hens to improve the utilization of white western wheat. Chick
studies were primarily concerned with characterizing the growth
inducing properties of an antibiotic fermentation residue (Vigofac)
which had shown a greater...
Two experiments were conducted using coturnix quail to determine
the effects of dieldrin and calcium on the reproductive performance
of this species. In both experiments quail were raised on a
soybean-meal glucose-monohydrate ration. At 25% egg production
the quail received diets containing 0, 10 or 25 ppm of dieldrin in...
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of
p, p'-DDE and p, 'Dr-DDT on the performance of Coturnix quail (Co-.
turnix coturnix japonica) fed an adequate and deficient calcium diet.
In Experiment I four hundred day-old Coturnix quail of mixed
sex were fed 0 and 50 ppm of p,...
A series of 17 experiments was conducted to investigate the minimum
vitamin requirement and vitamin interrelationship for growth of
Coturnix coturnix japonica to two weeks of age using a glucose
monohydrate-isolated soybean protein diet.
The first phase involved two preliminary trials. The first trial
consisted of four treatments with the...
