Stimulation of serotonergic activity by tryptophan (TRP) supplementation is known to influence behavioural and physiological processes. One hundred and twenty male broiler chicks were assigned in groups of 5–24 battery cage and fed experimental diets with 0.22, 0.42 and 0.62% of digestible TRP durin...
