The Impact of Dietary Electrolyte Balance on Male Broiler Performance Offered Reduced Crude Protein Diets
Published: July 5, 2021
Summary
I. INTRODUCTION Dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) is defined by the interrelationship between sodium (Na + ), potassium (K + ) and chloride (Cl - ) where DEB = Na ++ K + -Cl - as mEq/kg and it plays an influential role in homeostasis of the body fluids. Borges et al. (2004) investigated DEB in two experiments and concluded that there was a quadratic effect on weight gain and feed conversion ...

Very informative article ,would the results be same with straight run.One more group with higher DEB(250 or 260)would have confirmed the optimum level of DEB in feed.

When we use reduced CP , the energy protein ratio is disturbed,though we maitain DEB at optimum level, shall we ignore the EP ratio, if we go for essential AA balance with low protein level?
