There is a possibility that feeding the low‐lysine diet had an effect on protein synthesis in the bone marrow. Chicks fed the low‐lysine diet had apparently overcome the lysine deficiency in the synthesis of protein of the bone marrow at the end of the 12th week. 相似文献
There was a higher mortality in the pullets fed a ration containing 0.53 per cent lysine during the growing period. The mortality in the group fed the ration containing 0.42 per cent lysine from 7 to 22 weeks of age was the same as that of the control. There were no differences in mortality during the laying season that could be related to methods of rearing the pullets.
During the laying season, the highest rate of lay was obtained from hens which had been fed the ration containing 0.42 per cent lysine from 7 to 22 weeks of age. Hens fed on the ration containing 0.53 per cent lysine from o to 4, 8 or 12 weeks of age showed no improvement in rate of lay as compared with controls.
Hens fed the ration containing 0.42 per cent lysine from 7 to 22 weeks laid fewer small eggs at the beginning of the laying season than did hens receiving adequate amounts of lysine throughout or fed the ration containing 0.53 per cent lysine from o to 4, 8 or 12 weeks. The hens fed the latter ration laid smaller eggs throughout the laying season.
No differences were found between the fertility, hatchability or embryonic mortality of eggs obtained from hens fed on lysine deficient diets during growth and those fed on diets adequate in lysine. 相似文献
