Abstract
SULFAQUINOXALINE is now in common use for the prevention and control of coccidiosis in chickens. It has also been found of value in fowl cholera prevention and control as reported by Delaplane (1945) and Delaplane and Higgins (1948).Delaplane and Milliff (1948) found that 0.05 percent sulfaquinoxaline fed continuously in mash was toxic for laying birds, but it apparently could be fed intermittently without any difficulty. Delaplane and Higgins (1948) used the drug at the 0.033 percent level in mash fed continuously to prevent the spread of the respiratory form of fowl cholera on a poultry farm. They failed to observe any indications of adverse effects on egg production, fertility or hatchability.This study was conducted to determine the effects on egg production and hatchability of feeding sulfaquinoxaline at the 0.033 percent level under controlled conditions.MATERIALS AND METHODSTwo pens of 110 Rhode Island Red pullets mated with 12 .
