title: Requirements of the young turkey for sulphur amino acids and threonine: comparison with other species.
abstract: 1. The requirements of the 3-week-old turkey for the sulphur containing amino acids and for threonine were estimated to be 0.83% and 0.94% respectively in diets containing 12.5 MJ ME/kg. 2. It is suggested that the growth responses of rats and slow-growing chicks and of fast-growing chicks and young turkeys to daily intakes of the sulphur containing amino acids and of threonine are similar.
