Abstract
Summary True body growth of over 6 g day approaching that obtained with an Intact protein diet was obtained by feeding weanling rats a pure amino acid diet equivalent to 10% protein. This rapid rate of growth was obtained by increasing the arginine content of the diet over that previously used. 0.5% arginine HCl appeared to be the requirement level for optimum growth.Keywords
