Chickens were fed a diet containing wheat of low metabolisable energy (ME) content (11.3 MJ kg-1 dry matter [DM]) or a diet containing a wheat of high-ME content (14.5 MJ kg-1 DM). The diets, although of identical ingredient composition differed in energy to protein ratio. Chicks fed the diet containing the low-ME wheat and with the low ratio had more severe biotin deficiency lesions but a much reduced incidence of the fatty liver and kidney syndrome.
给鸡喂食含低代谢能（ME）含量小麦（11.3兆焦/千克干物质[DM]）的日粮或含高ME含量小麦（14.5兆焦/千克DM）的日粮。这些日粮虽然成分相同，但能量与蛋白质比例不同。喂食含低ME小麦且比例低的日粮的雏鸡有更严重的生物素缺乏损伤，但脂肪肝和肾综合征的发生率大大降低。
