Abstract
A series of nitrogen balance experiments was carried out to determine the relationship of the essential and nonessential amino acid portions of the nitrogen requirement to the protein reserve status of the adult rooster. It was observed that dietary nonessential amino acids are adequate in the formation and maintenance of protein reserves provided the maintenance requirement for essential amino acids is satisfied.
