Relationship of Corn Diets to Nicotinic Acid Deficiency in Growing Pigs

W. C. Powick, N. R. Ellis and C. N. Dale

United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract

  1. Two experiments are reported in which no evidence of nicotinic acid deficiency could be noted in growing pigs receiving diets containing 80 and 84 percent of corn respectively and supplying at least 0.7 and 0.8 mg. of nicotinic acid respectively per kilogram live weight per day.
  2. A third experiment is reported in which severe nicotinic acid deficiency resulted from feeding diets containing 40 and 70 percent of corn combined with purified materials, and supplying 0.36 and 0.47 mg. of nicotinic acid respectively per kilogram live weight per day.
  3. Evidence of a pellagragenic effect of corn was obtained which appeared to be not necessarily an anti-nicotinic acid effect.
