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.
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,...

1. Introduction Diet formulation and the reduction in dietary protein levels, considered essential for the achievement of economic goals and to protect the environment, necessitate a better understanding of amino acid requirements. The concept of ideal protein for layers is limited by our understanding of the «requirements». The determination of a daily Lysine requirement has been attempted by many researchers. The results...

Paper from the Australian Poultry Science Symposium Summary The combined inclusion of xylanase plus phytase in a wheat-based diet increased the ileal digestibility coefficients of 17 amino acids by an average of 8.6% (0.830 versus 0.764), which exceeded the average increases individually generated by xylanase (4.8%) or phytase (5.5%). Of probable relevance is that the combination of xylanase plus phytase markedly increased ileal...

Summary The combined inclusion of xylanase plus phytase in a wheat-based diet increased the ileal digestibility coefficients of 17 amino acids by an average of 8.6% (0.830 versus 0.764), which exceeded the average increases individually generated by xylanase (4.8%) or phytase (5.5%). Of probable relevance is that the combination of xylanase plus phytase markedly increased ileal digestibility of sodium from -0.516 to 0.043. I. INTRODUCTION The...

The results of 15 experiments realized from 1990 have been used to define more precisely the requirement in Methionine and Sulfur Amino Acids. Results show that the daily requirement for Methionine is related to the bird productivity. If the requirement is expressed in mg per gram of egg mass produced, the requirement appeared independent of the daily egg mass produced. From this analysis, we conclude that the Methionine requirement is not related to the Cystine...

The word protein is derived from the Greek proteios, meaning primary or foremost. This is fitting in that proteins, being the molecular instruments through which genetic information is expressed (one gene – one enzyme), are central to the life process. There is a huge diversity of proteins. The key to the structure of different proteins is the group of relatively simple building block molecules, the amino acids. It is indeed remarkable that the cell can join what is a relatively small...
