In two of five trials the use of copper sulfate apparently resulted in a more favorable environment in the crop for establishment of Candida albicans infection. In an experiment conducted at The Squibb Institute, copper sulfate at a dilution of 1 to 2000 in the drinking water was ineffective in preventing moniliasis in turkey poults.Mycostatin, an antifungal antibiotic, has been used successfully in the treatment of mycotic diseases of …
