In 4 experiments with male weanling Wistar rats cottonseed meal in different forms was given to supply protein 10% to compare: the nutritive value of glandless cottonseed meal with and without the presence of bound gossypol; the effect of supplementation of cottonseed meal with L-lysine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, L-threonine or L-methionine in the presence or absence of bound gossypol; supplementation of meal in either form with a combination of the 5 amino acids with protein 10 and 11.2%.
