Dried Whey as a Source of Unidentified Factors for the Growing Chick1

Four Figures

Four experiments were carried out in which 3 to 5% dried whey was added to an all-vegetable protein (corn-soybean oil meal) diet. The feeding of this product produced an increase in the weights of the birds in all instances, even when fed with an APF concentrate containing aureomycin or with penicillin. In agreement with earlier reports, this work indicates that dried whey contains unidentified factors which are necessary for maximum chick growth.

1 Animal protein factor concentrate 3 was supplied by Dr. D. F. Green, Merck and Company, Rahway, N. J. Animal protein factor concentrate 4 was supplied by Dr. T. H. Jukes, Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, N. Y. The dried whey and lactose were supplied by Dr. N. F. Rodgers, Western Condensing Company, Appleton, Wisconsin.

Manuscript received 4 December 1950.
