摘要:The effect of lysine or lysine and threonine as supplements to rice and wheat diets at three different protein levels (5.5, 11.0 and 15.0%) was studied in growing rats with initial body weights of 68 g in experiment I and 55 g in experiment II. The following results were obtained: At the 5.5% protein level addition of lysine alone to the wheat diet had no effect on the growth of the rats, but there was significant effect of lysine plus threonine. At the same level of protein, addition of lysine increased the growth of rats receiving the rice diet, and the effect of threonine with lysine was more significant. At the 15% protein level, addition of lysine had a significant effect on the growth of rats receiving both rice and wheat diets, but no effect of threonine with the wheat+lysine or rice+lysine diet was observed. With 11% protein level, addition of threonine to the lysine-supplemented rice diet had little effect on the growth of rats, whereas it caused a marked improvement in the growth of rats on the wheat diet. It was also observed that the body weight gain or changes in body water correlated well with the lysine intake of rats receiving nonsupplemented as well as those with supplemented rice and wheat diets.
