Abstract
THE previous communication refers to a tentative microbiological assay method for certain unidentified chick growth factors, based on their growth stimulating effect on a strain of lactobacillus isolated from chicks receiving distillers dried solubles in their diet. This method derives from the hypothesis that the growth factors act by modification of the microbial flora of the chick's gut.
