Abstrakt: Addition of safflower oil or methyl linoleate, but not methyl linolenate, to purified diets free of unsaturated fatty acids resulted in an immediate (within 7 days) growth response in chickens. Addition of a mixture of methyl myristate and methyl laurate depressed growth, and addition of cholesterol to these saturated fatty acids depressed growth further. These growth-depressing effects were largely overcome by addition of a source of linoleic acid.
