Effect of feeding different levels of DL-methionine and L-methionine on heat shock protein 70 expression and blood parameters in broiler chickens under heat stress condition
Methionine (Met) is a sulphur-containing essential amino acid (AA), and is always supplemented in poultry diet to enhance production. A study was conducted to compare the effects of various levels of DL-Methionine (DL-Met) and L-Methionine (L-Met) (feed grade) on physiological reactions to high ambi...
