Dietary Levels of Protein and Sustainable Broiler Production
Published:June 23, 2020
Summary
INTRODUCTION Poultry population in Nigeria is put at 140 million and it is a major contributor to the economy (FMAWR, 2008). There is also a consistent rise in intensification of production and a growth rate of 306.6% between 1999 and 2004 (Glipha, 2007). The importance of these statistics is that Nigeria inadvertently contributes to environmental issues currently debated world - wide vix air ...
Basically supports most real world experience. Feeding to meet the requirement of AA is more important than trying to force production with poorly balanced CP levels. Increased CP levels also normally result in depressed energy intake and increased energy expenditure to convert the excess protein fed to usable energy. So you get a double reduction in production efficiency by not feeding a correctly formulated ration. Basically cannot get economical production from poorly formulated rations. Much better to formulate for energy-AA ratios than trying to force production with excessive levels on one nutrient at the expense of needed levels of another nutrient.
