Extract

Evidence is presented, based on feeding tests, that vitamin A metabolism is adversely affected when meat meal having a vitamin A consuming power in vitro is included in the diet of chicks.

Evidence is presented, based on feeding tests, that when fish meal having no vitamin A consuming power in vitro is fed to chicks in a basal ration which produces negligible mortality, the addition of such fish meal to the ration does not appreciably increase mortality.
