Abstract
Abstract THE lipid content of chicken urine and the manner in which it may be influenced by dietary lipid level has been a point for conjecture for some time. Edwards et al. (1960) reported that the lipid content of urine obtained from adult chickens consuming a practical ration was 12.2% of the dry matter. These workers also found evidence indicating that the hen’s diet may greatly influence lipid content of the urine. Mehring et al. (1961) found an average of 1.33% of lipid material in the dry matter of urine collected from 8-week-old chickens fed a practical ration, and presented data showing that urinary lipid excretion was influenced by lipid content of the diet. Urinary lipid excretion as influenced by dietary rapeseed oil and the significance of urinary lipids in determining lipid digestibility by the growing chick were studied in the present investigation. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twelve broiler strain cockerels were…
