Abstract
A process for ameliorating the effects of tibial dyschondroplasia while maintaining weight gain in poultry is disclosed as are a supplemented poultry feed and a feed supplement concentrate. The process contemplates feeding the bird with a poultry feed that contains 35 to 350 micrograms of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol per kilogram of feed. The supplement feed is used in the above process, whereas a feed supplement concentrate comprises a comestible diluent containing about 0.05 to about 100 mg of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol per gram of concentrate.
