“…Bauernfeind, Norris, and Heuser (1942) found that Rhode Island Red chicks require about 12 percent less pantothenic acid in the ration than do White Leghorns. Evidence presented by Heiman and Tighe (1942) indicates that the chicks from a cross of Barred Plymouth Rock males on Rhode Island Red females require somewhat more vitamin D than do White Leghorns, but these authors interpreted the results as showing no practical difference. Olsson (1941) reports that Rhode Island Red Chicks require 2.6 times as much vitamin D in the feed as do White Leghorn chicks to achieve the same degree of bone calcification.…”
