Commercial selection for improved growth rate may increase susceptibil-ity to pre-slaughter stress which could have important implications for L-arginine (Arg) is an essential amino acid for avian species and the welfare and meat quality. The study was divided into two parts. In the precursor for the potent vasodilator Nitric Oxide (NO).
