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.
APIs MARKET
The vet APIs market has been going down continuously this year, with a significant decline in some leading products (see the table below) due to the decreased demand.
The market stopped falling at the end of May, and it is stable overall, with prices running at the bottom. Although there are optimistic expectations for the future market, the...

I. INTRODUCTION The inclusion of 175 g/kg fishmeal, essentially at the expense of soybean meal, in sorghum-based broiler diets was shown to improve weight gain by 12.1% (1260 versus 1124; P < 0.001) and feed conversion ratio by 8.13% (1.299 versus 1.414; P < 0.001) from 15 to 28 days post-hatch (Sydenham et al., 2017). The dietary treatments had an average crude protein (CP) content of 222 g/kg in this study. Slowly digestible starch has been shown to advantage...

Introduction In poultry production systems, feed represents between 70 and 80 % of production costs; energy, protein, and amino acids are limiting factors that significantly affect the poultry industry’s feed costs and performance (Cancherini et al., 2005). The availability of the synthetic amino acids methionine and lysine in poultry feeds allowed lower protein levels since these amino acids limit portions for chickens and hens (Ramírez & Gonzalez,...

High energy and protein prices and volatility of grain, fat, and oilseed meal markets have resulted in shifts in feed ingredient use and increased application of a wide variety of exogenous enzymes to reduce feed cost. However, the choice of enzyme and subsequent application of matrix values are often done with little regard of the substrate levels in the diets that are being targeted. This discord between feed substrates and the class of enzymes being applied...

Summary In order to investigate the benefits of a multi-enzyme complex (RovabioTM Max) containing carbohydrolases and phytase activities on the performance and bone mineralization of broilers fed corn-soybean meal based diets, 2268 male Ross broiler chicks were allocated to 9 dietary treatments: a positive control diet formulated to be adequate in nutrients and four reduced nutrient diets (NC), with gradual decrease on AME,...

I. INTRODUCTION Threonine is the most recently discovered amino acid but is also the third limiting amino acid in diets for broiler chickens (Kidd, 2000). There is considerable interest in reducing crude protein (CP) contents in broiler diets because their successful development would generate several advantages (Greenhalgh et al., 2020a) including a reduced dependence on imported soybean meal (Selle et al., 2020). Decades ago, Fancher and Jensen (1989) reported that free...

I. INTRODUCTION Phytic acid salts or phytate constitutes up to 70 % of the phosphorous (P) stored in cereal grains and oilseed meals and this P is poorly utilized by poultry due to limited endogenous phytase secretion (Ravindran, 1995). Therefore, exogenous phytase is routinely used in poultry feed worldwide to address the issue of optimizing P utilization and mitigating the negative impact of dietary phytate on bioavailability of other nutrients i.e. minerals and AA...

I. INTRODUCTION Breeding egg type Japanese quail are responsible for the production of fertile eggs upon which the improved Japanese quail multiplication system for commercial egg production is based. The nutrition of these birds needs to be focused on the production and quality of eggs that are intended for artificial incubation. Maternal nutrition affects egg composition and should provide optimal conditions for embryonic development (Li et al., 2019). This sector has been...

Introduction Amino acids (AAs) are natural substances containing both amino and acid groups. Proline, which contains an imino group but not an amino group, is loosely considered as an AA in nutrition and metabolism. 1 Protein (the polymer of AAs) is the major component of growth in animals and has been a focus of nutritional research over the past century. 2 Proteinogenic (protein-creating) in animals are alanine, arginine, asparagine, asparate, cysteine,...

Introduction The branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, valine and isoleucine account for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle protein and 40% of the total amino acid requirement in poultry [1]. Furthermore, The BCAA regulate protein synthesis and turnover in broiler chickens, facilitate glucose uptake by skeletal muscle, enhance glycogen synthesis and are important regulators of mTOR signalling pathways [2,3]. Indeed, leucine was identified as a possible regulator of...

1. Introduction The use of a low-crude-protein diet fortified with essential amino acids is a part of a precision feeding and has gained commercial acceptance to improve protein utilization, minimize environmental impact and thus increase the sustainability of broiler production, because it reduces the cost of production [1–3]. Protein accounts for the second most expensive nutrient in poultry diets, following metabolizable energy [4,5]. In the typical corn–soybean...

The issue of antibiotics resistance on animals has raised concerns about meat safety and human health. The banning of antibiotics- growth promoter in animal feed was announced in the EU in 2006. Other countries are starting to follow the regulation to comply with the compulsory withdrawal periods to ensure ‘antibiotics free products. Supplementation in nutrients to enhance the immunity system and lower the risk of the pathogen can help to reach the balance between maintaining animal...

INTRODUCTION Chicken meat consumption has drastically increased in the past decades, and Australia has the fourth highest consumption of chicken meat in the world, eating 47.64 kg/person in 2020 (ACMF, 2021). The success of the poultry industry is highly related to the improved growth and performance capabilities of chicken meat birds with some strains of broilers capable of reaching market weight by 35 d of age (Singh et al., 2021). The industry now requires new approaches to...

INTRODUCTION Feed cost accounts for approximately 60 to 70% of total production cost in the egg industry (Wilkinson, 2018). Out of this, 85% correlates to the energy and protein content of the laying hen diet (Santana et al., 2018). While reducing crude protein ( CP ) levels in diets may offer some advantages for the environment and reduce the feed cost, maintaining the birds’ digestive health and development performance is difficult. With the addition of synthetic...
