Dear Dr. Cerrate. Very interesting article, thank you. I think the section on egg size and amino acid balance needs discussion. I agree that the ONLY way to achieve better results is to ensure the supply of balanced Standardised Digestible amino acids is correct. I disagree that lysine is the main driver of egg size; this is actually methionine + cysteine, the sulphur-containing amino acids (SAA). ...

Key informationCompared to growing poultry, exact determination of the relative bioavailability of methionine hydroxy analogue compared to MetAMINO® is constrained by physiological mechanisms in laying hens which often result in overestimation of the relative bioavailability.The relative bioavailability of 65 % for methionine hydroxy analogue is applicable in layers and bears no risk in terms ...
