Error in Table
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in column “SEM” of Table 5. The numbers originally presented were incorrect. They should have been presented with a decimal point (i.e., 1.949, 3.846, 5.119, 7.046, and 6.979). Below is shown the column with the correct values.
| SEM |
| 1.949 |
| 3.846 |
| 5.119 |
| 7.046 |
| 6.979 |
Additionally, in the Table 5, the column “Methionine Sources”, row 4, shown below, had two incorrect numbers: 9.056 and 9.111.
| Methionine Sources | |
| DL-Met | OH-Met |
| 20.43 | 20.43 |
| 44.13 | 43.75 |
| 64.30 | 64.67 |
| 9.056 | 9.111 |
| 105.89 | 106.57 |
The numbers should be 90.56 and 91.11.
Another mistake was presented in Table 6, where we changed the values of the parameters of the columns referring to SAA Level and Sources of Methionine by the values of the parameters of the columns referring to SAA 100% and SAA 120%.
Below are shown both the incorrect values and the corrected values, where the bold numbers are the correct values.
| SAA Level | Methionine Sources | SAA 100% | SAA 120% | ||||
| 100% | 120% | DL-Met | OH-Met | DL-Met | OH-Met | DL-Met | OH-Met |
