“…Genetic deviants are known to affect the structure of proteins and of enzymes that are related to the productive efficiency in birds (Matsumoto et al, 1960;Stutts et al, 1956;Wilcox, 1963Wilcox, , 1966Wilcox etal, 1963) in swine (Combs et al, 1959) and in cattle (Ashton, I960,1961;Ashton and Fallon, 1962;Ashton et al, 1964;Kunkel et al, 1956). The free plasma amino acid level may also prove to be a particularly accurate predictor of performance.…”

Free plasma amino acid levels were studied in five pure strains of White Leghorns. Two blood samples were drawn from the birds at 125 and 500 days of age respectively. Multiple linear regressions were calculated to predict egg production from the free plasma amino acid levels. When the free plasma amino acid levels were measured at 125 days of age, R 2 values varied from 0.03 to 0.90, while R 2 values ranged from 0.01 to 0.87 when these parameters were measured at 500 days of age. Estimates of heritability for those parameters are also reported.

“…Recent reports indicate that glutathione (GSH) is primarily genetically controlled and may be associated with growth rate (Kunkel et al, 1954;Stutts et al, 1956;Stutts and Kunkel, 1958;Charkey et al, 1965;Best, 1966). Thus, the possibility of using GSH levels as an aid in selection is indicated.…”

Free amino acids were estimated in the plasma of Leghorn, Cornish and White Rock hens, bred under identical conditions. It was found that the plasma of Leghorn hens had a lower content of amino acids. The differences were especially pronounced for proline, glutamic acid and glycine. It was established that a lower percentage of valine, leucine and isoleucine was typical of Leghorn hens in comparison with Cornish hens. The obtained results indicate that the level of free amino acids in blood plasma is genetically controlled.
