The objectives were to investigate if supplementation of a low protein diet (LP) with nutrients acting as methyl donors, antioxidants or having insulinogenic properties could lower the incidence of hepatic lipidosis in growing mink from August to November when mortality, caused by hepatic lipidosis, often is high
Higher for the control and methionine groups (100%) than for the dextrose group (75%) and numerically higher than for alanine (92%), taurine (92%) and arginine (83%)
