Effects of additional vitamins, minerals, or brewer's yeast upon leg weaknesses in broiler chickens.
Leg weaknesses occurring in commercial broiler chickens were studied in three experiments. No significant improvement was obtained by added dietary levels of known anti-perotic factors. Definite improvements in leg weaknesses occurred when the complete, practical diet was supplemented with 2.5 and 5.0% brewer's dried yeast.
