Amino acids in poultry nutrition
Adequate provision of dietary amino acids is required to maintain normal immunocompetence and protection of the host from some diseases in all species (Beski et al. 2015). Therefore, the development of immune function in poultry will be promoted if they receive sufficient amino acids in their diets. The essential amino acids for poultry are arginine, glycine, histidine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, cystine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Out of these, the ones critical in practical diets are arginine, lysine, methionine, cystine and tryptophan.
Novus is supporting the 20th European Symposium on Poultry Nutrition. This conference is a major event in the poultry industry, not only in Europe but also internationally. More than 800 participants are expected to attend the meetings and discussions, to all learn more on the latest advances in poultry nutrition, together.
We hope you will be attending the official gala dinner powered by Novus International on Tuesday, August...

The animal nutrition division of DuPont Industrial Biosciences will host a Phytase 101 workshop just prior to the ESPN 2015 opening ceremony on Monday 24 August, the aim of which is to share the latest scientific findings on phytate - and other factors that should influence phytase choice and dose. Future phytase trends will also be discussed during and after the four expert sessions, the topics of which will be as follows:

I. INTRODUCTION The global availability of inorganic phosphates is limited; phosphorus (P) is the third most expensive ingredient after energy and amino acids. Therefore sustainable animal production requires optimal utilisation of P to reduce the cost of feeding. Over two thirds of P in plantbased feedstuffs is not readily available in poultry as it is bound to phytic acid (PA), which has been commonly thought to be due to the low levels of...

I. INTRODUCTION That a mounting array of synthetic amino acids will be incorporated into broiler diets to increasing extents would appear to be an entirely reasonable prediction. The caveat is that predictions are fraught with difficulty; particularly when they concern the future. However, nearly 50 years ago, Beames et al. (1968) made the following prognostication: “It is probable that the price of synthetic amino...

Introduction Digestible amino acids and ratios to lysine are used extensively in formulating diets for poultry (broilers, layers, turkeys, ducks, quail, etc.) on a global basis. Amino acid use has and will continue to increase in the coming decades, especially as high priced ingredients, more limited resources and the environmental impact of excessive dietary nitrogen come more into consideration through...

INTRODUCTION Supply of the right amount of nutritionally adequate feed ingredients to the animal is key for efficient production of animal products. Attaining the goal of supplying the right amount of nutritionally adequate feed ingredients calls for careful evaluation and good understanding of the bioavailability of nutrients and energy in each feed ingredient formulated into a mixed diet. Critical attention should be...

Introduction The carcass yield of commercial broilers is an important factor in the poultry industry. Studies have indicated that an increase in dietary protein content will result in increased carcass protein content and decreased carcass fat content (BEDFORD & SUMMERS, 1985). An increase in protein retention and decrease in fat retention with increasing dietary lysine content have been reported by SIBBALD & WOLYNETZ...

1. Industry challenges Gradual intensification of the poultry industry in the last half century has resulted in increasing challenges within the industry. With a growing world population the pressure has been on to grow bigger birds, faster and as cheaply as possible. Drivers for the industry have been increasing growth rates whilst maximising feed utilisation as feed is the biggest single cost for producers (Barletta,...

I. INTRODUCTION Proteolytic enzymes are involved in a great variety of physiological processes and their action can be divided into two different categories. Firstly, limited proteolysis, in which a protease cleaves only one or a limited number of peptide bonds of a target protein leading to the activation or maturation of the formerly inactive protein. Secondly, unlimited proteolysis, in which proteins are degraded into their amino acid...

Introduction Modern layer strains have high genetic potential for egg production, and may produce eggs for more than one laying cycle by inducing molting. Forced molting is defined as a set of management practices that cause stress, inducing birds to stop producing eggs and the partial molting of the feathers (Roland & Brake, 1982). The objective of forced molting is to allow the reproductive system of layers to rest...

Introduction The amino acid glutamine (Gln) is traditionally considered as a non-essential amino acid. However, several researches has shown that Gln may be a conditionally essential amino acid in maintaining gut integrity and reducing inflammation [1-5]. Glutamine-enriched diets have been linked with favorable intestinal effects including maintenance of gut barrier function and enterocyte differentiation [6]. Glutamine has also been the focus of...

Introduction The non-starch polysaccharide content of corn-derived distiller dried gains with soluble (DDGS) is 3-4 times higher compared to corn. The high-fiber content of DDGS is partially responsible for its low ME in poultry, which may be increased with dietary inclusion of a mixture of carbohydrases. Our objective was to measure in growing broilers increases in amino acid (AA) digestibility, energy utilization, and growth performance in an...

Introduction
Heat treatment of soybean meal (SBM) causes amino acid (AA) damage, particularly to lysine. Further, birds and pigs cannot use heat-damaged AA for growth. Lysine is the first- and second- limiting AA in corn-soybean meal diets for pigs and poultry, respectively. Currently, there is no reliable laboratory analysis for the determination of digestible lysine in soybean meal. The objective of this study was to...

Myths that have erroneously limited feed-grade amino acid inclusion in poultry diets have been dispelled in these proceedings by presentation of a historical perspective. In addition, recent research has been presented which has allowed for aggressive feed-grade amino acid inclusion that maintains good bird performance in diets with reduced costs and environmental impact. Namely, in the past 10 to 15 years numerous research reports have delineated threonine,...

Abstract The results of 10 experiments realized from 1980 have been used to define more precisely the requirement of Lysine. Results show that the daily requirement for Lysine is related to the bird´s productivity. If the requirement is expressed in mg per gramme of egg mass produced, the requirement appears independent of the daily egg mass that is produced. From this analysis, we conclude that...

Phytate has direct anti-nutritional effects on poultry and swine, causing reductions in performance by lowering amino acid and mineral absorption and increasing endogenous losses. PHYTIN (a deposited complex of inositol hexaphosphate with potassium, magnesium and calcium) - more recognized in animal nutrition as phytate - is the major storage form of phosphorus present in seeds. ...

Introduction
Individual feed ingredients commonly used in poultry may vary widely in composition and nutrient availability because of variation in cultivars, growing conditions, processing and storage conditions (NRC, 1994). In spite of this, in recent years the major improvements in nutrition and the efficiency of production have relied on obtaining maximum nutrient utilization from feedstuffs,...
