A preliminary study is made of the use of chlortetracycline under conditions approaching those used in the United States: the results are compared with those obtained when some of the features of present British practice were retained. The American results were confirmed but, as was expected, the application of chlortetracycline produced no worthwhile extension of the short storage life of eviscerated birds subsequently kept at ordinary temperatures. It was, in fact, evident that no advantages would be gained by the use of chlortetracycline in this country unless, as in America, refrigerated transport and distribution were also employed.
