The Effect of Dietary Sulfate on the Growth Rate of Chicks Fed a Purified Diet

摘要: Abstract Miller and Denton (1959) Davies et al. (1960) reported that inorganic sulfate was effective in counteracting the toxic effects of supplying chicks with excess dietary molybdenum. The former investigators fed a diet composed practical ingredients, including 35% soybean oil meal, while latter purified containing isolated protein. addition large quantities ion to these diets absence molybdenum did not affect growth. In contrast experiments conducted at this laboratory using casein as protein source, marked growth depression observed by feeding high levels attempts induce deficiency. basal used is given Table 1. mineral mixture supplied 0.23 0.41 percent sulfate. When added diet, calcium, sodium potassium …
