The Use of Soybean Meal in the Diet of Growing Chicks

Condensed Fish Press Water and Fish Liver Meal in Chick Rations ,

“…Berry, Carrick, Roberts, and Hauge (1943) pointed out that the proteins of soybean oil meal were of excellent quality, but that rations containing soybean oil meal as a sole protein supplement were deficient in certain vitamins which were adequately supplied by additions of small amounts of animal protein feeds. This work has been confirmed by Hammond and Titus (1944), who mention the necessity of supplementing a diet containing soybean oil meal as the sole protein supplement with adequate vitamins and minerals. The same workers, however, state that "sardine fish meal is of outstanding value as a protein supplement to soybean meal."…”

Do Cereal Grains and Soybean Oil Meal Influence the Chick’s Need for an Unidentified Factor or Factors Present in Fish Meal and a Liver Fraction

“…The results presented by Hammond and Titus (1944) and by Whitson et al (1945) show that fish meal gave a growth response when added to chick diets in which the supplementary protein was supplied by soybean oil meal even though the diets contained no corn. Heuser, Norris, and McGinnis (1946) have shown that a small amount of fish meal gives a growth response when added to chick diets containing plant protein concentrates other than soybean oil meal.…”

“…Similar results using fish solubles as a supplement to a "purified" diet were reported by Cravens et al (1945). The use of either ground yellow corn or w heat in chick diets in combination with soybean oil meal was investigated by Hammond and Titus (1944). They concluded that wheat gave better growth than corn when used in combination with soybean oil meal.…”

Fish Meal and the Response of Chicks to Antibiotics

“…For some years, evidence has been accumulating which indicated that certain feed ingredients such as fish meal, fish solubles, liver, dried milk, dried whey, dried distillers' solubles, and dried brewers' yeast contained an unidentified growth factor or factors required by chicks and poults- Berry et al (1943Berry et al ( , 1945, Bird et al (1948), Brant and Carver (1947), Combs et al (1948), Emerson et al (1949), Hammond and Titus (1944), Heuser et al (1946a,b), Hill (1948), Hill and Van Poucke (1947), Johnson et al (1942), McGinnis et al (1947), Mishler et al (1947Mishler et al ( , 1948, Nichol et al (1947), Novak et al (1947), Robblee et al (1947), Schumacher et al (1940), Synold et al (1943) and others. However these investigations were carried out prior to the identification of vitamin B12, which complicates the interpretation of the results.…”
