Abstract
Summary
1) Growth of chicks was significantly improved by the addition of distillers dried solubles, sodium molybdate or a mixture of unidentified factor sources. Removal of the molybdenum from the ash of distillers dried solubles resulted in the same growth rate exhibited by the control group. The ash of this product produced a 9.1% increase in growth; which was not quite significant. 2) Bone ash values were not affected by the dietary treatments. Intestinal xanthine dehydrogenase activities were significantly increased in all cases except the “molybdenum-free” distillers dried solubles ash-fed group.
