Abstract EN
In this study the effects of L-lysine hydrochloride (containing 78.8% available lysine as crystalline lysine) and L-lysine sulfate (containing 51% available lysine in bacterial cell mass) as source of supplemental lysine in broiler chickens was assessed.
The basal diet was supplemented with either L-lysine hydrochloride or L-lysine sulfate to meet lysine requirement.
Lysine supplementation irrespective of source improved (P<.05) live weight and food conversion.
Live weight and food conversion ratio of the L-lysine sulfate group was superior (P<.05) to the L-lysine hydrochloride group.
Supplementation of lysine to the basal diet improved breast meat yield (P<.05).
Meat protein content and protein accretion increased (P<.01) when L-lysine sulfate was supplemented.
Nutrient metabolizability, N retention, protein utilization efficiency and live weight gain : lysine intake ratio also improved (P<.01) with L-lysine sulfate.
A fasting trial conducted after the completion of the feeding trial indicated that the birds receiving L-lysine sulfate retained more of their live weight than the control and the L-lysine hydrochloride dietary groups (P<.05).
It was concluded that due to the retained bacterial cell mass, L-lysine sulfate may be a superior source of supplemental lysine than L-lysine hydrochloride for broiler chickens.
