- Description
- The quantification of the essential amino acid requirements of a species is a prerequisite to the formulation of biologically optimized diets. In this study, crystalline L-lysine was used in an attempt to determine the quantitative lysine requirement of juvenile Haliotis midae. Two microencapsulation techniques [gelatine/acacia and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP)] were used to retard leaching of crystalline L-lysine incorporated into semipurified test diets. An assessment of the efficacy of the encapsulation techniques, revealed that despite effective lysine supplementation, H. midae fed semipurified test diets containing encapsulated crystalline L-lysine failed to promote significant improvements in either growth, feed or protein efficiency (P > 0.05). The failure of the crystalline L-lysine to illicit growth and nutritional responses is discussed.
