Abstract
A growth assay was conducted with rats to determine if copper-induced growth depression is related to dietary sulfur amino acid concentration. In the absence of added copper, methionine addition to the basal diet had no effect on either gain or gain/feed. However, the growth depressing effect of 750 mg/kg copper was totally alleviated with the addition of 0.18% methionine.
