Abstract

THE data discussed herein is part 2 of an experiment in which studies are being made of the influence of certain rations on the composition and quantity of fat deposited in eggs and adiopose tissue of chickens. Results of a previous experiment (1938) in which different amounts of yellow corn contained in balanced rations for growing Rhode Island Red chickens were replaced by thick distillery slop showed that the rations containing the larger amount of yellow corn developed fatter and better flavored chickens and the fat deposited in the chicks had a lower iodine number and a higher refractive index. Unpublished data obtained at the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station yielded similar results when distillers corn dried grains which contained less than 1 percent of starch replaced different amounts of yellow corn, containing approximately 62 percent of starch, in rations for growing chicks. From these experiments it was deduced that the .
