dc.description.abstractThe duodenal and whole empty body essential amino acid (EAA) profile of South African Mutton Merino lambs fed a standard growth diet was investigated. The data of 20 lambs were used. With the exception of phenylalanine, significant (p < 0.05) differences between the EAA concentrations of the duodenal digesta and whole empty body occurred. From the chemical score, it was concluded that the duodenal digesta was first-limiting in histidine and second-limiting in methionine, followed by threonine and arginine for the whole empty body growth of South African Mutton Merino ram lambs fed a standard diet high in rumen degradable protein. A calculated essential amino acid composition for the correction of imbalances in duodenal digesta was as follows (%): 11.21 arginine; 14.53 histidine; 8.17 isoleucine; 9.97 leucine; 8.64 lysine; 13.87 methionine; 9.97 phenylalanine; 12.54 threonine and 11.11 valine.
