Broiler chickens just after hatching were fed diets supplemented with Euglena cells for one month. The following groups (each 30 boiler chickens) were used group 1, fed the control diet, group 2, fed Euglena making up 0 25% of the diet; group 3, fed Euglena making up 0.50% of the diet. group 4. fed Euglena making up 1.00% of the diet. All groups fed Euglena grew satisfactorily as well as the control during the experimental periods. Although Euglena did not contain taurine at all, taurine content of the muscle in the Euglena groups increased about 2~3 tomes in comparison with the control. From these results. the effect of Euglena feeding for broiler chickens and the accumulation mechanism of taurine in the muscle are discussed.
