Effects of monosodium glutamate on lines of chickens having different juvenile exponential growth rates.

Abstract excerpt

MSG (4 mg/g BW) or the equivalent molar ratio of NaCl were injected subcutaneously into chicks from four populations of chickens derived from a double selection experiment [(1) low exponential growth rate (EGR) to 14 days of age (14L), (2) high EGR to 14 days of age (14H), (3) low EGR to 42 days of age (42L) and high EGR to 42 days of age (42H)]. MSG significantly influenced growth in chickens, but the absolute...
