TL;DR: A defective leg and bone formation occurring in battery fed chickens is referred to and certain fractions of the calcium or phosphorus in the blood differed sufficiently from the normal to explain the cause of the disorder.

TL;DR: The hydrogen-ion concentration of the intestinal tract of several hundred chickens has been determined to determine whether changes in the concentrations of salt or minerals in the mixed feed or in the drinking water might result in abnormalities in the intestines of chickens.

TL;DR: The experiments reported here were planned to ascertain if male chickens can still further increase their gains on a higher protein level after the females have reached their greatest response.

TL;DR: Results of experiments conducted at this station provide evidence to indicate that feather development does not always parallel rapidity of body growth, and it is a common belief that the best plumage is found on the chicken which is growing the most rapidly.

TL;DR: Minerals have played an important role in the attempt to prepare a ration for baby chicks, maintained in brooders, which would produce the greatest gain in weight, the lowest mortality rate, and the least bone deformation and abnormalities.
