Abstract

The feeding of streptomycin during nutritional studies with chicks by Moore et al. (1946) showed a reduction in coliforms in the feces. These workers could not account for the increased growth of the chicks. Newell et al. (1947), who conducted a study of the nutritional value of dried penicillium mycellium, observed excellent growth of chicks and attributed it to the protein and vitamin content of the feed ration. Harned and coworkers (1948) reported an increased growth rate of chicks fed chlortetracycline. Coates et al. (1952 and 1953), Hill et al. (1953), Lillie et al. (1953), and Waibel et al. (1954) concluded that the function of the antibiotic was not the direct stimulation of growth but rather the minimizing of various factors which suppress growth.
