Studies to determine the effect of diet composition on the toxicity of 20 ppm added vanadium for the young chick have shown: growth depression of 25-30% with a corn-soybean meal ration but only 3-7% with a corn-herring fish meal diet. Growth depression of 35-40% with a semi-purified sucrose-soybean meal diet and approximately 50% with a diet of sucrose and herring fish meal. Adding graded levels of corn to the sucrose-fish meal ration and fish meal to the corn-soybean meal ration reduced vanadium toxicity. The corn fractions, ash, oil, starch, zein and gluten did not reduce vanadium toxicity. Removing the added magnesium (300 ppm) and potassium (2000 ppm) from the sucrose-fish meal ration did not affect growth rate or mortality. However removal of these materials from the basal ration increased growth depression due to added vanadium from 43-56% and increased mortality from 10-80%. 4 references, 9 tables.
