Gut morphology and nutrient retention responses of broiler chicks and White Pekin ducklings to dietary threonine deciency

Published: July 3, 2013
Summary
Dietary Thr may be particularly important to the mucus layer because of the importance that Thr has as a structural component of mucin proteins. Threonine and serine (Ser) play crucial roles linking carbohydrate groups through ester linkages to the mucin backbone (Montagne et al. 2004). Lein et al.
