Note on the lysinoalanine content of alkali-treated barley.
1982
Davidson J. | McIntosh A.D. | Milne E.
The concentration of lysinoalanine in a sample of barley treated with 35 g NaOH/kg was found to be 1.16g/kg compared with zero concentration in control samples. Although such a level in the diet might result in a reduced growth rate and produce kidney lesions in the rat, the nutritional risk to farm stock, including non-ruminant animals, would appear to be small if allowance is made for reduced concentrations of important amino acids when formulating diets.
