Samples of Koga II wheat, harvested at 22% moisture and dried in streams of air heated to 180° F for 37 min., 220° F for 26 min. or 220° F for 120 min., were incorporated into two series of diets for young growing chicks. No significant differences were found between the samples, either when fed as sole protein source or when fed as the major energy source in completely adequate rations. None of the samples was significantly different from a control sample of wheat dried at 80° F.
