Diets containing up to 30% of vegetable oils resulted in increased growth and feed efficiency in the chick. At 40 and 46% levels, the liquid nature of the mixture, and not a deleterious effect of the fat as such, reduced the availability of the solid constituents and resulted in high levels of mortality. No beneficial effects on growth or feed efficiency resulted after increases in the levels of vitamin and/or mineral mixtures with increase in energy. The growth response to added vegetable oils does not appear to be caused by an unidentified factor, such as may be found in distillers dried solubles, antibiotic fermentation residue, whey product, fish meal, or condensed fish solubles.
