In 1 experiment 12 goats were used to test 3 experimental diets. Sal-seed-meal and 5% Ca(OH)2-treated sal-seed-meal replaced the maize (40%) of a control diet in 2 experimental diets. Feeding trials revealed that treated sal-seed-meal produced the usual deleterious effects such as lowered dry matter, energy and protein digestibility and while flakes in the urine. Experiment 2 was conducted on Arbor-Acres, male, broiler chicks using 9 experimental diets. The 1st diet containing 52% maize served as control. The remaining diets contained 5, 10, 20 and 30% sal-seed-meal or treated sal-seed-meal in place of equal quantities of maize. Sal-seed-meal could be fed up to 20% level without any detrimental effect on growth, but 30% growth was depressed. This depression was somewhat less on the treated sal-seed-meal diet and was due entirely to the higher consumption of the treated than of untreated 30% sal-seed-meal diets. Treated sal-seed-meal was as deleterious as untreated sal-seed-meal. The postulated Ca-tannin complex was apparently broken down in the digestive tracts of animals, releasing free tannins.  aCalcium hydroxide  aGoats  aShorea robusta  aAlimento para animal  aCaprino  aNutrição animal1 aWAH, C.
