Comparison of Various Sources and Levels of Vitamin K Activity Using Chicks with Cecal Coccidiosis. ∗ †

Abstract

Summary

Data have been presented which indicate that increased dietary levels of MSBC result in a decreased mortality and morbidity of chicks suffering from cecal coccidiosis. Based on mortality from coccidiosis on a weight basis, MSBC is 6 to 7 times as effective as menadione. Vit. K₁ appears to be 4 times as effective as MSBC.
