Abstrakt: The article discusses a study on the effect of dietary lead (Pb) and methionine on the growth as well as nutrient digestibility and utilization in guinea pigs. The study also seeks to determine the ameliorative effect of methionine on Pb toxicity. One finding shows that feed intake is not affected by the supplementation of 20 parts per million (ppm) of Pb or 20 and 40 ppm of methionine. Another finding suggests the lack of effect of Pb and methionine supplementation on nutrient digestibility.
