Amino acid requirements of the young turkey: lysine and arginine
British Poultry Science
|May 1, 1975
Abstract:
The arginine and lysine requirements for maximum growth of the 3-week-old turkey, determined in a factorial manner, were 1-75% arginine and 1-55% lysine. 2. It is demonstrated that the arginine required to support a growth rate of about 20 g/d is similar in turkeys and chicks, suggesting that the efficiency with which dietary arginine was utilised for growth is similar in both species.
