Summary
Previous studies at the South Dakota Experiment Station showed that average hen-day egg production over fifteen 28-day periods was reduced from 70 to 67% when the protein content of the diet was lowered from 16 to 12%. Furthermore, the combined addition of methionine and lysine depressed production to 61%. Tryptophan appeared to somewhat alleviate the depression effect caused by methionine and lysine, whereas isoleucine did not further improve hen performance.
