Abstract
An experiment was designed and conducted to study the effects of dietary L- arginine supplementation on growth performance and Iipogenic gene expression in broiler chicks. The feed ingredients used for experimental diet preparation were analysed for its proximate composition, acid insoluble ash, calcium and phosphorous. The lysine, methionine and arginine content of each ingredient were calculated from the analysed protein content as per the ICAR (2013) and NRC (1994). Five types of experimental broiler chicken diets were prepared with different levels of arginine in starter and finisher phases.
