Extract

1. The digestibility of diets supplemented with fat has been investigated.

2. For adult fowls and young chicks an increase in the fat content was accompanied by a decreased digestibility of the supplemental fat.

3. Supplemental fat depressed the digestibility of the carbohydrates when added to a chicks' diet, but had no such effect on a layers' diet.
