Abstract
The addition of molybdenum to a synthetic basal diet for chicks and poults containing 0.972 and 1.58 ppm of molybdenum, respectively, was found to result in growth increases of 13.5 to 19.1% in 3 experiments reported. A reconstituted ash mixture which simulated the ash of distillers dried solubles produced growth responses equivalent to distillers dried solubles ash. Results of these studies indicate that a portion of the growth promoting activity of the ash of distillers dried solubles may be attributed to molybdenum.
