Thanks for the good information! The CP reduction without losing performance could be related to an indirect anti-nutritional and allergenic reduction. Concentrated protein sources like Glutenose or Soybean Protein Concentrate would be alternatives?

@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 wo ...

@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 condition ...

@Dr.Dharavath Rammbabu Agree, Our clear recommendation is to formulate diets on digestible amino acids of ingredients in order to consider this.

@Nisar Muhammad Khan Indeed, you are right, the more dietary protein is reduced the more non-essential amino acids become essential. While in the commercial examples shown in the article the NEAA levels are not a problematic issue per se, we clearly recommend to consider Gly-equivalents as those can become limiting. Recommendations can be found in AMINOChick.Indeed, research has shown, that Gly bu ...

It depends on several factors like quality of protein, adulterations in protein sources, season,etc The main focus is on balancing amino acids and keeping in mind lysine as an ideal or reference amino acid. Other digestible amino acids ratios should be maintained.Arginine, tryptophan levels help better performance in summer.So in present days no need to focus on Protein levels, need to focus on ba ...

@E. Ernest M. Pierson I applaud and agree that you formulate diet on analysed amino acid content rather than on table values. I like to add that technologies are available to have very immediate results on raw mateial quality including amino acids proximates and even heat damage of protein and amino acids. With AMINONIR by Evonik you get the result within minutes.As hopefully everybody agrees, cru ...

Recent publications by Verhelle und Saremi (2024) and Westreicher-Kristen et al. (2025) reported broiler feeding experiments to evaluate the nutritional value of guanidinoacetic acid (GAA) in comparison to L-arginine (L-Arg). Basically, reported broiler performance responses are in agreement with expectations based on literature. However, the authors drew misleading conclusions on the efficacy of ...

Compilation of a projectKEY INFORMATIONA series of 5 commercial feeding trials was performed from which 4 trials took place on commercial broiler farms growing between 300,000 and 420,000 broilers per cycle.Dietary protein was gradually reduced in subsequent trial while standard diets well represented German broiler feed. Basically, average crude protein levels were decreased by 0.3 % up to 1.5 %. ...
