Abstract
SOME years ago, Brause, Kon and White1 proved that an addition of high amounts of dried yeast in the ration of pigs produced rachitogenic symptoms. During the feeding practice in our Institute with chickens, we sometimes found that an addition of 2 per cent of dried yeast in the mash (about 1 per cent calculated on the total ration) resulted in a somewhat retarded growth, particularly if the animals did not need the supplement of the B-vitamins provided by this product.
