ABSTRACT
Two hundred and forty one-day-old male Hubbard chickens were randomly assigned to three groups, each comprising 10 replicates of 8 birds. Chickens were fed isoenergetic diets containing 220 (HP), 200 (MP) or 185 (LP) g crude protein kg-1. The LP diet lowered the growth rate during the first 7 days of life and increased the rate of yolk sac resorption. In yolk sacs from groups fed MP and LP diets, the fat, proline, lysine and arginine contents decreased faster than in the HP group.
