1、Sarah M.Dickerson,Claire L.Timlin,Fiona B.Mccracken,Craig N.CoonIs It Time to Reconsider NRC and AAFCO Guidelines for Amino Acid Requirements in Dogs?Dogs have an amino acid requirement,not necessarily a protein requirement Limited by the least available nutrient Methionine Lysine High protein foods
