Summary

It is a widely known fact that fibrous material is generally not well assimilated by a growing chick. Furthermore, the effect on the growth of a chick sometimes may be quite derogatory, depending on the quantity of the fibrous material used in the diet. This effect is generally considered to be attributable to a reduction in the energy intake and might be caused by a specific effect of the cellulose itself or by some cellulose composition products.
