Synopsis Dehydrated birdsfoot trefoil meal did not suppress the growth of chicks when included at a low level in a broiler‐starter mash whereas alfalfa at the same level did. A greater proportional growth suppression was obtained at a higher level for the birdsfoot trefoil than for the alfalfa. Analytical assays indicated chemical differences between the two meals.
