The practice of reducing dietary protein along with supplemented amino acids has the potential to result in impaired performance and unbalanced supply of amino acids. There is little published information on the impact such diets have on intestinal health. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of low protein (LP) diets compared with a standard (SP) diet and a high protein (HP) diet on in ...

A previous study highlighted differences between a low protein (LP) diet and a higher concentration of amino acids (AA) for intestinal permeability and performance (Barekatain et al. 2018). It is hypothesised that individual AA such as glycine (Gly), glutamine (Gln) and arginine (Arg) may improve gut health and barrier function of birds fed LP diets. To test this hypothesis in a broiler study, two ...
