Adenosine and Ash as Unidentified Chick Growth Factors in Fish Meal.

Abstract

It was found that adenosine at 150 mg/kg of ration failed to stimulate chick growth when supplementing a 30% protein, soy protein type purified diet. Supplementation of such rations with 2% fish meal ash gave only small and variable responses, while supplementation with 10% fish meal uniformly gave marked growth response.
