Abstract
Two feeding trials and one metabolism trial were conducted with 56 young horses fed isonitrogenous diets containing either milk products or linseed meal as the primary source of supplemental protein. Daily gain, nitrogen retention and feed/gain were greater when the diet contained milk products or when lysine was added to the linseed meal diet. At least some of the greater response appeared to be due to the higher lysine content of the milk products. The calcium and phosphorus of the diets containing milk products were more available than those in the linseed meal diets. Copyright © 1971. American Society of Animal Science.
