S. G. Hughes 1985 <p></p><p>1. A semi-purified test diet which contained either glutamic acid or glycine as the major source of nonessential amino acids (NEAA) was fed to lake and rainbow trout.</p><p>2. Trout fed the diet containing glutamic acid consistently showed better growth and feed conversion efficiencies than those fed the diets containing glycine.</p><p>3. The data indicate that these trout utilize glutamic acid more efficiently than glycine when no other major sources of NEAA are present.</p><p></p> application/pdf 10.1016/0300-9629(85)91045-X en Elsevier Evaluation of glutamic acid and glycine as sources of nonessential amino acids for lake trout (<i>Salvelinus namaycush</i>) and rainbow trout (<i>Salmo gairdnerii</i>) article
