Medicated vs NON-Medicated

[ChickFlick99]

Hi! I finished my experiment and my results were that the chicks on the NON-Medicated feed grew more faster than the chicks on the medicated feed. I think it was because of the higher amount of Lysine and Methionine in the NON-medicated feed I used. Do you think it was because of that of something else.

Can you post your data?

Medicated is the right word - what needs to happen is people need to stop thinking that modern medicine is some sort of evil conspiracy to make things sick. It's nuts.

IMO people seem to naturally equate medicated with antibiotics.

Likely from the synthetic lysine and methionine. Both are critical amino acids for growth.

It would be good to do the test again with the same feed, one medicated and one not. Like Purina Start & Grow. It's the same feed but one has amprolium.

I find it interesting that folks who have a differing opinion find it so easy to resort to calling anyone stupid who disagrees with them. Is that how you conduct all of your conversations with anyone who disagrees with you?
