The whole empty body essential amino acid composition of finishing Merino and Dohne Merino male lambs was investigated. The amino acid requirements for growth vary considerably between these two breeds. Hence, it appears that whole empty body amino acid profiles…
The weight and protein distribution, as well as the essential amino acid composition of the carcass, internal and external offal of Merino and Dohne Merino male lambs were investigated. Differences in the weight and protein distribution, as well as the…
The chemical score of microbial protein revealed the order of limiting amino acids for whole empty body growth of Merino and Dohne Merino lambs as histidine, methionine, leucine, arginine and phenylalanine. Microbial protein is unable to provide a similar duodenal…
The essential amino acid (EAA) profile of the Boer goat and Saanen kids was investigated. The EAA composition of the components differed from the whole empty body (WEB) concentration. No significant differences between the two species WEB EAA composition were…
