Abstract: | Summary White grease, prime tallow, and soybean oil have been fed to chicks and to turkey poults at the levels of 2.2 to 5.0%. No consistent improvement in growth has been observed with chickens. A slight improvement was noted with turkeys with prime tallow. However feed utilization was improved when the various levels of fat were fed to either chickens or turkey poults. The addition of fat to poultry feeds reduces the amount of dust and improves the texture and color of the feed.
