Normal and genetically dystrophic chickens were fed diets deficient in arginine or further aggravated by the addition of lysine. Growth of dystrophic chicks is depressed less by a deficiency of arginine than that of normal chicks. Muscular ability of dystrophic chicks was improved by feeding them an arginine deficient diet but this effect may be related to the size of the bird. The total creatinine content of the pectoral muscle of dystrophic chicks was reduced more with a deficiency of arginine than was that of normal chickens.
给正常鸡和遗传性营养不良鸡饲喂缺乏精氨酸的日粮，或在日粮中添加赖氨酸使其缺乏情况进一步加重。与正常雏鸡相比，精氨酸缺乏对营养不良雏鸡生长的抑制作用较小。给营养不良雏鸡饲喂缺乏精氨酸的日粮可改善其肌肉能力，但这种作用可能与鸡的体型大小有关。与正常鸡相比，精氨酸缺乏时，营养不良雏鸡胸肌中的总肌酸酐含量下降得更多。
