Sodium chloride supplementation of all plant protein broiler diets.
Male broiler chicks were fed all plant protein diets with soybean meal or a mixture of soybean and canola meals as the source of supplementary protein from 0 to 4 weeks of age. Supplementation of the diets with .25% sodium chloride did not meet the requirements of the chicks for maximum growth. Growth was accelerated when the dietary sodium chloride concentration was increased to .50 and 1.00%.
