Abstract
COATES et al. 1 described an infective growth-depressing condition in premises where chicks had been reared for some time. The condition was counteracted by penicillin in the diet, and was not present in clean premises where chicks had not previously been kept. Work on the relationship between Clostridia and antibiotic growth stimulation has been critically reviewed by Jukes2.
