Two trials were conducted to determine the requirement of methionine + cistyne for Ross female broilers from 1 to 21 and 22 to 42 days old on tropical climate region. The following parameters were evaluated: feed intake, weight gain, feed: gain ratio, absolute weights and yields of noble cuts (breast, thighs and drumsticks) and abdominal fat. The experiment was analyzed as a complete randomized design with six levels of methionine + cystineand four replicates of 12 birds per replicate, in […]

Two experiments were conducted to determine the nutritional requirements of total methionine + cystine for Ross male broilers from 1 to 21 and 22 to 42 days old on tropical climate. The following parameters were evaluated: feed intake, weight gain, feed:gain ratio and absolute weights and yields of carcass, noble cuts (chest, thighs and drumsticks) and abdominal fat. The experiment was analyzed as a complete randomized design with six levels of methionine + cystine and four replicates of 12 animals, […]

Sixty swine (Landrace x Large White) with initial weight of 14.97 ± 0.33 kg and 50.36 ± 3.29 days old were allotted to a blocks randomized experimental design, with five treatments (0.465, 0.511, 0.558, 0.605, and 0.652% digestible methionine + and cystine)and six replicates of two animals, to determine the sulphurous amino acids requirements for barrows on a high temperature environment from 15 to 30 kg. Diets and water were fed ad libitum until the end of the experimental period, […]

This experiment was carried out to determine the nutritional requirement of methionine + cystine (sulfur amino acids) for Hubbard and Ross broilers from 1 to 21 and from 22 to 42 days of age, of both sexes. Weight gain, intake, feed:gain and carcass composition were evaluated. Two thousand and four hundred broilers were used in the phase from 1 to 21 of age and 1800 broilers in the phase from 22 a 42 days of age. Basal diets with 21 […]
