title: Thio-urea and methionine effects on glucose and leucine absorption in chicken jejunum.
abstract: Administration to broiler chickens of one single dose of thio-urea (7 mg/kg body weight) on the 7th day of age affects in different ways jejunal absorption of glucose and of leucine. Methionine supplementation of feedstuff (1.5 g/kg) through 40 days affects, in an age-dependent manner, glucose absorption, but not that of leucine.
