Abstract
RIEDEL Barber and Hays (1949) showed that quaternary ammonium compounds fed to broilers promoted increased gains in weight. Whether this effect was related to either the surface active or the antibiotic properties of the compounds was not demonstrated. Ely (1951) and Ely and Schott (1952) have recently reported growth stimulation by a number of surfactants fed to chicks throughout a 10-12 weeks experimental period. Scott et al. (1952) and Stern et al. (1952) reported 4-week chick studies in which they found no growth-promoting effect with several detergents tested. In each case, antibiotic supplements were used as positive controls. The growth promoting effects of antibiotic supplements have been studied by numerous investigators since first reported by Moore et al. (1946). The present experiment was undertaken to determine the effect on weight gain and feed utilization of a commercial sodium alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent. Aureomycin, penicillin, and phenylarsonic acid supplements were included …
