Die Substitution von Eiweißfuttermitteln durch lysinergänzten proteinreichen Weizen während der Aufzucht und Legeperiode von Hennen

Abstract
1530 laying hybrid hens kept under conditions of large-scale production were used to test whether varying lysine levels given to young hens would later on influence the production of the birds during their laying period. Thus, young hens received isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets with varying lysine content (group 1-4: 0.59%, 0.61%, 0.54%, 0.46%) and varying sources of lysine (group 1: wheat/fish meal; group 2--4: wheat/synthetic L-lysine). The ration used for the controls was prepared on the basis of nationally prescribed formulas.
