Abstract
Adding 445 mg. of L-lysine-HCl/lb. diet to a high-energy diet composed primarily of milo and cottonseed meal did not result in a significant effect on gains or efficiency of gains in sheep. Lysine supplementation did not have a significant effect on gains of sheep receiving a purified diet in which the nitrogen source was crystalline urea.
