Abstract
A growth response to trace additions of bromine to a semi-synthetic diet was seen in chicks. In some experiments chicks will also show a growth response to the addition of a variety of natural feed products including whey. It is suggested that part of the growth response to such natural materials may be due to the presence of bromine. Furthermore, since these natural products do not always give positive growth increments, appropriate controls must always be included in tests that are designed to evaluate the significance of the bromine effect.Keywords
