Abstract
MANGANESE salts have been used extensively as driers for oils in paint. It has been observed in this laboratory that expected fat values of feed concentrate mixtures could not be obtained when the mixtures contained both fish oil and manganese sulphate. It was also noted that as the ether extractions of the mixtures were repeated at intervals the fat extracted became less on each analysis, indicating a change of the fat possibility due to the drying action of manganese sulphate. It was observed that such mixtures upon standing had the odor of drying paint. Since the fish oils used in poultry feeds have high iodine numbers, the question is raised as to whether manganese sulphate added to poultry feeds will dry the fish oils, and if so what will be the effect on the vitamin A and D content of these oils.An instance of the incompatibility of two feed .
