The objective of this experiment was to determine the true digestibility of lysine HCl and lysine sulfate, with cecectomized adult roosters. Eighteen roosters, 2.854 kg live weight, were cecectomized and kept in cages for a period of 10 days. After two days of adaptation to the cages the animals were fed twice a day during one hour (8:00 a.m. to 9:00 am and 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 pm), for crop dilation to avoid regurgitation of the feed. The forced fed […]
