Abstract
1. The amino acid composition of the whole body protein of 28- and 56-day-old turkeys is reported. 2. There were some differences between the two ages; these could largely be reconciled by considering the likely differences in the proportion of feather protein. 3. The results were compared with similar values for the chicken and goose; overall there is a striking similarity, both in absolute concentrations and relative proportions of amino acids.Keywords
