| Abstract: | The lysine requirements of rats of various body weights were estimated using the feeding and isotope tests.The regression equation obtained by the feeding test was Y= 1.03 – 0.58 log X. Where Y is lysine percentage of the diet and X is the mean of initial and final body weights (g) of rats achieving optimal growth gains during the feeding period.The regression equation obtained by the isotope test was 7=0.90 – 0.49 log X, where Y and X are lysine percentage in the diet and body weights (g) of rats achieving optimal growth gains at the injection time respectively. |
