According to news reporting out of College Station, Texas, by VerticalNews editors, research stated, "The effects of supplemental l-arginine (Arg), vitamin E (VE), and vitamin C (VC) on vascular reactivity to phenylephrine (PE) were examined in clinically healthy hypoxemic male broiler chickens. One-day-old chicks were housed in wire cages and randomly allocated to 1 of 3 dietary treatments: control (CTL; n=80; 3,200 kcal of ME/kg, 23% CP, 1.55% Arg and 40 IU of VE/kg of feed), high-Arg (HA; n=40; CTL + 0.8% Arg), or high-Arg and high antioxidant-vitamin diet (AEC; n=40; HA + 200 IU of VE/kg of feed and 500 mg of VC/kg of feed). ...read more
