Abstract
Isolation units were designed for the study with chicks of the growth‐depressing ‘infection’ counteracted by penicillin. Preliminary results indicated that the ‘infection’ could be transmitted by feeding gut contents from ‘infected’ chicks to newly‐hatched chicks. It was not transmitted by similar gut contents after autoclaving or by gut contents from ‘uninfected’ chicks.Keywords
