Effect of Milk Products on pH of Intestinal Contents of Domestic Fowl

Abstract THE beneficial effects of milk feeding upon the growth and mortality rate of chicks has been demonstrated by Rettger, Kirkpatrick, and Jones (1914), Rettger, Kirkpatrick, and Card (1915), and Rettger (1915). The work of Beach and Davis (1925) and Beach and Corl (1925), indicates that milk is efficient in the control of avian coccidiosis. Beach (1925) reported that feeding adult birds a 20 percent lactose ration lowered the pH of the cecal contents from a normal of about pH 6.2 to approximately pH 5.2. Sanford (1930, unpublished results) in similar experiments on 10 to 12 week-old chicks, found a decrease in pH of a much smaller magnitude than that reported by Beach. Sanford believes that the beneficial effects of feeding milk products to chicks is not due to an increased acidity of the intestinal contents, but to some other property of milk.
