Luis Fernando Vergamini Luna thanks for your kind words. Indeed, it is a challenge for the poultry industry trying to achieve or surpass the standard guides from the breeder companies. For that reason they, institutions, and Universities always are running broiler trials to fine tune the genetic progress. Further, these new changes are tested in large or medium poultry companies to later on apply for all the flocks. This is a broad question that I tried to answer in brief words. Best regards.

ibrahimmuhammadisah The requirements of amino acids change for several reasons, one of them is the feed form, mash or pellet; and another is the age of feeding. As birds age, the digestible amino acids reduce. The levels of lysine that you mentioned is digestible and what level is?. Further, the digestible methionine and cysteine should be quantified together. We are assuming that the requirement for amino acids represents the best biological performance that sometimes match the economical profitability, but sometimes the biological and economical variables are found with different digestible amino acid levels.
