Abstract
Studies have been presented which indicate that, under practical conditions, the sodium requirement of both pheasants and quail is approximately 0.085%; the chlorine requirement is between 0.048 and 0.11%; and the iodine requirement is no more than 0.3 ppm of diet. The results of these studies indicate that the sodium and chlorine requirements of both pheasants and quail are satisfied by the addition to a practical ration of 0.15% of sodium chloride. If iodized salt is used, containing 0.007% of iodine, this level of 0.15% of salt also appears to satisfy the iodine requirement of both pheasants and quail.
