Effect of Gossypol and Hexahomoserine on Performance of Rats Fed Purified Diets with and Without Lysine

Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station, Stillwater3

Abstract

Sixty-four weanling rats were used in a 23 factorial arrangement of treatments. The treatments imposed upon the rats receiving the basal ration, which contained no lysine, were 0.85% lysine, 0.15% gossypol or 0.20% hexahomoserine. Lysine increased gain, feed consumption and feed efficiency, whereas gossypol and hexahomoserine decreased these three criteria.

Gossypol toxicity symptoms were noted. The results are discussed in regard to the mechanism of action of gossypol in causing growth depression in nonruminants.
