Abstract
Lysine requirements of rats of various body weights were estimated using feeding and isotope tests. The regression equation obtained by the feeding test was Y = 1.03 - 0.58 log X, where Y is lysine percentage of the diet and X is the mean of initial and final body weights (g) of rats achieving optimal growth gains during the feeding period. The regression equation obtained by the isotope test was Y = 0.90 - 0.49 log X, where Y and X are lysine percentage in the diet and body weights (g) or rats achieving optimal growth gains at the injection time, respectively.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
