Abstract
Reports of the effects of thyroid feeding on fowls published to date by various investigators show some lack of uniformity. Giacomini (1924) and B. Zavadovsky (1925) have noted depigmentation of plumage when fresh thyroid gland was given orally in doses which, though not stated exactly, were relatively large. The latter writer also obtained the same result with dried preparations.Keywords
