An anticoccidial agent, Coban-1 (monensin, 121.3 mg./kg. + roxarsone, 49.6 mg./kg.) and six graded levels of added sodium chloride (0 through 0.375%) were dietary variables in a broiler test of four weeks duration. Coban-1 did not affect the requirement for sodium chloride. Performance was optimum when the diet contained 0.3% added sodium chloride. Data supporting field reports that Coban-1 results in poor feathering and cannibalism were not obtained.
