Increased broiler muscle carnosine and anserine following histidine supplementation of commercial broiler feed concentrate
Controlled trialOther animalsWith histidine (carnosine precursor)
This study tested carnosine together with histidine (carnosine precursor). Its results cannot be assigned to carnosine alone. More combination studies.
- Design
- Controlled trial
- Dose used in the study
- 1 g/kg histidine added to feed
- What was measured
- Breast muscle carnosine and anserine in broiler chickens.
What the authors reported
Histidine supplementation raised breast muscle carnosine by about 64 percent and anserine by about 10 percent. The authors suggested the standard Norwegian broiler feed may contain less histidine than optimal dipeptide synthesis requires.
Limits of this study
Poultry; sample size and duration not stated in abstract. Abstract only.
