Effect of Diet and Ginchophen on Production of Experimental Gastric Ulcers in Chicks

Conclusions

1. Feeding cinchophen to chicks produces gizzard lesions with the characteristics of peptic ulcers. 2. These gastric ulcers vary in severity with the amount of cinchophen fed. 3. The early lesions are similar to those produced by a dietary deficiency alone. 4. The lesions are less severe in chicks fed a dietary supplement containing the anti-gizzard erosion factor.
