Dystrophic chickens which were fed 1% or 1.5% Na2 EDTA developed white feathers and showed lower hematocrit and hemoglobin values than normal New Hampshire chickens. These abnormalities may be corrected by adding dietary iron, indicating that chickens with hereditary m uscular dystrophy have a higher dietary requirement for iron than normal chickens. No differences were found in the utilization of 59Fe.
喂食1%或1.5%乙二胺四乙酸二钠的营养失调鸡长出白色羽毛，且其血细胞比容和血红蛋白值低于正常的新罕布什尔鸡。添加膳食铁可纠正这些异常情况，这表明患有遗传性肌肉营养不良的鸡对铁的膳食需求量高于正常鸡。在59Fe的利用率方面未发现差异。
