(1953) studied the effects of fat in poultry rations. Sunde (1954) and Runnels (1955) called particular attention to the valuable increase in feed efficiency attained by the addition of fat to poultry feeds. The use of supplemental dl -methionine and the beneficial effects in growth and in efficiency of feed utilization obtained with practical chick starter and broiler diets are also well known from the work of Bird et al. (1945), Gerry et al.(1948), Saxena and McGinnis (1952), Matterson et al. (1953) and many others.

Investigation of this problem has been in progress at the …
