Abstract
1. In two experiments, the dietary lysine concentration which supporte d maximal gain through 14 days of age in a subline of Japanese quail s elected for 4-week body weight (HW) was higher than that needed by the random-bred population (R1) from which it was initially developed. 2. The lysine concentrations needed to minimize feather depigmentation a nd maximize breast and leg muscle development were higher in HW quail than in R1 quail.
