The Rate of the Daily Feed Consumption, the Daily Maximum Protein Anabolism and Their Importance Concerning the Evaluation of Feeding Experiments with Antibiotic Supplements

Published 1955 in Poultry Science

ABSTRACT

Abstract IT IS a well known fact that through antibiotic supplements the normal gain in body weight of growing chickens may be increased. On making various experiments it is, however, conspicuous that the results achieved differ considerably. The following may serve to demonstrate that the discrepancies in result of the experiments are caused mainly by the rate of the daily feed consumption and the daily maximum protein anabolism. These two factors will be examined to determine the extent to which differences in results of 45 experiments with penicillin supplements can be explained. Means of evaluation of feeding experiments with antibiotic feed supplements are at present chiefly the weight increases achieved. The efficiency of these supplements is established by comparing the gain in body weight of the test groups with and without supplements. In measuring the daily feed consumption of the two test groups it becomes evident that hardly in any case …
