@Dr. Andreas Lemme The short answer to this ambiguous question—how much reduction would guarantee optimal performance while maintaining economic benefits—centers on the ideal protein (IP) concept rather than constraining crude protein (CP) in the feed formulation matrix. It is recommended to remove CP limits and adjust the ideal ratios of 7–8 essential amino acids (EAA) to lysine. In more advanced ...

@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 ...

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

As stated above, it may be related to protein quality. The better the quality of protein, the better its digestibility and the less protein needed. It may even be possible to lower the protein by 2%. A combination of good quality protein, a better balance of amino acids, and more synthetic amino acids to reach that ideal balance can go a long way in lowering protein percentage.

@Dr. Andreas Lemme Exactly

@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 ...

@DR.ASHWIN MAHURKAR while keeping in mind that non-essential amino acids are not limiting factors.

@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 ...
