Influence of Supplementation with Liquid DL-Methionine Hydroxy Analogue-Free Acid (Alimet) or DL-Methionine on Performance of Broilers

The influence of graded equimolar additions of DL-methionine and DL-methionine hydroxy analogue-free acid to a wheat-soybean diet deficient in methionine was determined under commercial conditions with straight-run broiler chicks from 1 to 33 d of age. The graded addition of DL-methionine and DL-methionine hydroxy analogue-free acid caused a statistically significant increase in all observed parameters. Within the dosage levels, no statistically significant differences between the methionine products were observed.

Key Words: broiler • DL-methionine • hydroxy analogue-free acid
