ResumoMarkedly different results were obtained in a recent experiment when poult diets containing increasing levels of corn oil were fed with and without an antibiotic. On the premise that antibiotic effects are due to modification of intestinal microflora, the results illustrate the potential influence of microflora status in studies of dietary fat effects. The basic 4% corn oil diet is shown in Table 1. Diets containing 8.4, 13.3 and 18.7% corn oil were prepared by increasing the corn oil and correspondingly decreasing sucrose on the basis of their productive energy values. As 2.2 parts of sucrose were deleted for each part of corn oil added, the diet weights decreased and nutrient densities increased as corn oil level increased. A portion of each diet was supplemented with 50 mg. of oleandomycin phosphate per kg., and the two series thus obtained were fed to replicate groups of day-old, Midget Bronze × Maryland…
