Abstract
Abstract PEANUT meal is considered to be an inferior source of protein for growing chicks. It has been reported that when the diet is properly supplemented, one-half of the protein from soybean oil meal may be replaced with peanut meal (Heuser et al., 1946; Driggers and Tarver, 1958). However, Douglas and Harms (1959) reported that peanut meal restricted growth rate of broilers when it furnished 50% or more of the dietary protein. Douglas and Harms also reported lysine to be the first limiting amino acid in diets utilizing peanut meal as a principle source of protein, and demonstrated significant improvement in growth of chicks when diets were supplemented with l -lysine, methionine hydroxy analogue calcium, and glycine. However, these diets did not promote a growth rate comparable to that observed on a diet containing soybean meal as the major protein source. The experiments reported herein were conducted in order to obtain further…
