Abstract
The course of sodium retention by sexually immature crossbred pullets treated with 0.5 mgm. estradiol benzoate (ODB) per day or with 0.5 mgm. ODB plus 0.4 mgm. testosterone propionate (TST) per day did not differ significantly from the course of sodium retention by untreated control pullets. The average daily retention by the pullets from 11 to 15 weeks of age was 37 mgm. Na per day.Keywords
