Summary
Previous studies have shown near maximum performance from laying hens when a 16% protein diet diluted to 10% protein with glucose was supplemented with 0.15% DL-methionine, 0.19% L-lysine and 0.04% DL-tryptophan. A supplement of 0.20% DL-isoleucine caused the hens to produce a small but significantly increased number of eggs. Glycine at 0.5% tended to favor the response from Isoleucine, suggesting Its requirement for maximum utilization of amino acids.
