Abstract

Attention has been called to the fact that certain differences among various lots of wheat have been observed in experimental work designed to ascertain if wheat is concerned in any manner with the appearance of pullet disease in chickens (1944).A report of chemical analysis of those wheats regarded as negative in their effects and those from which positive results were obtained, revealed no difference in content of moisture, arsenic, lead, barium, copper, zinc, or selenium, sufficient to account for the different results secured when fed to laying pullets.More recent work reveals a difference between these groups in germination, as shown in Table 1.In all cases, experimental or field, definite diagnosis of pullet disease was made by the Maryland Livestock Sanitary Service. The technique used in determination of germination of the wheat samples was in accordance with established Seed Laboratory Practice.**Using the “t table” of Fisher (1939) .
