Growth performance and antibody production in broiler chickens fed different levels of DL-methionine and L-methionine under heat stress condition
The experiment was conducted to determine the growth performance and immune response based on different level of DL and L met to the broiler chickens. All birds received a standard broiler starter diet from day 1 to 21. From day 22 to 42, equal number of birds (12 cages / diet) were fed isocaloric a...

All birds received a standard broiler starter diet from day 1 to 21. From day 22 to 42, equal number of birds (12 cages / diet) were fed isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets with various levels of DL-Met or L-Met supplementation; (i) 0% DL-Met or L-Met (as a negative control), (ii) 0.136% DL-Met, (iii) 0.136% L-Met.
