Comparison of preference and intake between slow (SG) and fast (FG) growing broiler chickens. Feed and amino acid intake and preference over two weeks in SG and FG in double-choice tests between commercial feed and feed supplemented with excess of a mix of essential amino acids (EAA: Met, Lys, and Thr) or non-essential amino acids (NEAA: Ala, Asp and Asn): A Comparison of preference values (percentage of test diet intake divided by the summation of test diet and control diet) for different groups of amino acids in SG and FG chickens; B Overall feed intake (adding the intake from both feeders) in SG compared to FG chickens; C Comparison of the amount of amino acids consumed in the preference test after adjusting for the covariate effect of total feed intake between SG and FG chickens. T1: feed vs feed (control); T2: feed vs feed+EAA; T3: feed vs feed+NEAA. One * or two ** asterisks mean significant differences at P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 levels, respectively
