Effect of food intake on protein quality measured in chicks by traditional or biochemical methods
1998-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that the activities of the hepatic enzymes xanthine dehydrogenase and nucleoside phosphorylase, as well as the uric acid excreted, can be used to determine the quality of the protein consumed in chickens, in a short time and using a small amount of the test protein.
