Effect of Alfalfa Meal, Alfalfa Leaves, Alfalfa Stems and Fresh Alfalfa on Chick Growth
Poultry Science, 1951 Abstract Studies by various investigators, Cooney et al. (1948); Draper et al. (1948); Lepkovsky et al. (1949); and Kodras et al. (1951), have shown that there is a relation between the depression of chick growth and the level of alfalfa meal in the rations. Data obtained by Cooney et al. with chicks fed rations containing alfalfa meal and equivalent
