Abstract
The enzyme, succinic dehydrogenase, was observed to be significantly inhibited by salicylate in in vitro studies(l). A serum salicylate level of 137 mg/100 ml had no effect on hexokinase, cytochrome oxidase or DPNH-cytochrome c reductase(2). In vitro studies with rat liver mitochondria indicated that malate and isocitric dehydrogenase activities were inhibited by salicylate(3,4). An additional study has demonstrated that acetyl salicylic acid fed at levels of 0.005-0.08% of the diet failed to produce a significant difference in growth rate or feed conversion in 3 chick studies(5).New Hampshire X Delaware chicks were fed 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9% acetyl-salicylic acid (ASA) in addition to the basal diet (Table I). Each dietary treatment was replicated 5 times, and each replicate employed in the experiment consisted of 4 males and 4 females. All chicks were reared for 4 weeks in electrically-heated chick batteries with raised wire floors, and feed and tap water were supplied ad libitum. Feed and body weights were d...
