Abstract
The addition of 0.5% sodium sulfate to a diet low in sulfur was found to stimulate the growth of the young chicken. Approximately 23% of the S35 of Na2S35O4 was incorporated into the tissues after 1 week of feeding. Of this amount about 19% was present as taurine S35. After feeding the sodium sulfate for 2 weeks a larger proportion of the S35 was recovered as taurine and significant amounts of S35 were present in the cystine and methionine.Keywords
