Abstract
1. The growing embryo uses about 1% of the total protein available in the egg during the first week of incubation. 2. Injecting the growing embryo with amino acids equivalent to the amount of protein used resulted in higher weight of chicks at all stages up to 56 d.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
