ABSTRACT YACOWITZ el al. (1957a) found that administration of 55 mgs. of Nystatin (Mycostatin) per kilogram of feed prevented the spread of crop mycosis (moniliasis) to chicks from controls dosed with Candida albicans cells. More recently, Nystatin has also been found to prevent crop mycosis in turkeys; and under certain conditions, growth responses have been obtained in both chickens and turkeys (Yacowitz, 1957). Also, combinations of Nystatin and chlortetracycline have been shown to prevent the growth of yeast and molds (Yacowitz et al., 1957b). An increase in the incidence of monilia infection in swine has been observed by Catron (1957) with continuous use of broad spectrum antibiotics, especially when fed at high levels. Nystatin has been effective in controlling this infection. Two experiments were conducted involving Maryland Medium White turkeys to determine the effect of Nystatin supplementation of practical-type starting and growing rations. The experiments were started in May and June . . .
