Abstract

Due to the wide disagreement which exists among the present research workers concerning the factor or factors influencing the occurrence of dermatitis turkey poults, it seemed advisable that further work be done in an effort to clarify this controversy.

Two definite objectives were set up at the beginning of this experiment:

1. The first objective was to use a practical ration which was reported to have produced a high incidence of dermatitis in turkey poults.

2. The second objective was to supplement this ration with crystalline vitamins and to determine their value in preventing this dermatitis.
