Summary
FLHS still remains an important cause of mortality, see A.S. Series 78-4. The events preceding mortality due to FLHS preclude a much reduced rate of production. The economic effects of such losses may well exceed $1 million annually in South Dakota alone. Earlier work at this laboratory has shown oats to contain a factor which protected against FLHS in laying hens. Subsequent studies showed that the oat hull did not contain the protective factor.
