Supplementing a practical chick starter diet with 30 mg tetramethylthiuram disulfide per kg of diet produced tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) in single-comb white leghorn chicks without compromising growth or bone mineralization. The incidence and severity of the lesion increased over time, with the highest incidence (40%) occurring in 4-week-old chickens. Microscopically, the lesion was consistent with the description of TD in broilers. This is the first known report of TD in the layer-type chick, which heretofore was felt to be highly resistant to TD.
在每千克实用雏鸡起始日粮中添加30毫克二硫化四甲基秋兰姆，可在单冠白来航雏鸡中诱发胫骨软骨发育不良（TD），且不影响生长或骨矿化。随着时间推移，病变的发生率和严重程度增加，4周龄鸡的发病率最高（40%）。在显微镜下，病变与肉鸡TD的描述一致。这是首次在蛋用型雏鸡中发现TD的报告，此前人们认为蛋用型雏鸡对TD具有高度抗性。
