@Nuhad Daghir Under experimental conditions you can even reduce more. However, the potential of CP reduction depends on the status quo. A good indication for protein reduction would be the nitrogen utilization which can easily be calculated by assuming 30 g N/kg BW. Indeed, nitrogen utilization is also a matter of age or final body weight but the article gives you an indication on German conditions. N-Utilization of 63 to 66% are not seldom any more and then, 2% CP reduction is...

Excellent work done, several points clarified, the importance of ADA well explained, oils come with a negative attribute, the rancidity, high FFA content, that affect the birds performance, to counter adding of antioxidants adds to expenses and interfere with birds metabolism. Continue the good work, in the interest of the poultry industry....

1. Introduction Broiler chicken feed represents approximately 75% of production costs, a figure that is expected to increase due to the commodity nature of animal feed ingredients, especially soybean oil, a primary raw material in feed production [1,2]. Currently, there are few alternative energy sources to soybean oil available for reducing production costs in poultry farming. Given these challenges, there is a growing need to explore alternative energy sources in broiler...

1. Introduction The misuse and overuse of antibiotics in humans and livestock animals are primary drivers of antimicrobial resistance [1,2], which is projected to become the leading cause of global human mortality by 2050 [1]. Consequently, the subtherapeutic use of medically important antibiotics for growth promotion and disease prevention in livestock has been banned in an increasing number of countries; however, this ban has inadvertently increased the risk of infections in...

1. Introduction Eggs and meat from poultry are indispensable protein sources in people's meals in Bangladesh [1]. However, the advancement in the poultry production is often interrupted by the overwhelming occurrence of infectious diseases in low resource settings of developing countries such as Bangladesh. Occurrence of these diseases, which incur a colossal loss due to less production of a quality product and also from the treatment cost, are attributable to noncompliance...

1. Introduction Welfare assessment in animals has increasingly emphasized the need for objective, non-invasive measures that reliably reflect physiological and psychological states [1–4]. In this context, pupillometry (the measurement of pupil dynamics) has gained traction as a valuable tool, particularly in human psychological and neurological research [5,6]. The pupil’s diameter is known to change in response to a variety of internal and external stimuli, including...

@Dr Kotaiah Talapaneni Thank you for this comment! This is indeed a clear dilemma and we may distinguish the aim for the two different nutritional strategies. Indeed, genetic potential of broilers is continuously improving and if diets are formulated accordingly, unbelievable performances can be achieved. A feed conversion ratio of 1.35 at 40 days is commercially achieved in some regions of the world. Our research on balanced protein very clearly suggest that high balanced protein levels...

Only in 2025, more than 40 studies relating to the broiler gut-bone axis have been published in Google Scholar. The gut-bone axis is an emerging concept that describes how the gut, particularly its microbiome, influences bone health through complex interactions involving immunological, metabolic, and endocrine pathways. The gut microbiota produces metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which regulate the activity of bone cells, promote calcium absorption, and modulate...
