A number of true amino acid digestibility assays were conducted in adult roosters on a range feedstuffs. Using these feedstuff batches, different broiler starters and growers formulated. corn-soy positive control diet with high (HD) was compared to another using various by-products partially replace corn soybean meal. This second low (LD) formulated contain the same levels total lysine sulfur acids as HD. third (LD + AA) similar LD, but L-lysine•HCl DL-methionine added obtain digestible...
Studies were conducted on the performance of chicks fed diets containing either a bird resistant sorghum (BR64) or an intermediate (NK300) as compared with that observed when susceptible (RS610) corn cereal grain. Chicks BR64 exhibited poorer growth and feed conversion RS610. In general, NK300 was between other two sorghums. consistently superior weight gains and, in some cases, various diets. Weight decreased tannic acid added to corn, RS610 level found diet. The still those diet acid....
Two independent experiments were conducted with male Cobb × 500 broilers to determine the optimal valine-to-digestible-lysine ratio for broiler development.

Three experiments were carried out to estimate the optimal ratios of digestible phenylalanine + tyrosine (Phe Tyr), histidine (His), and leucine (Leu) relative lysine (Lys) for performance carcass criteria Cobb-500 broilers from 8 17 d age. In each experiment, 160 male chicks allocated a completely randomized experimental design with eight replicate pens, receiving five dietary treatments. A common, semi-purified basal diet was formulated meet all recommendations except those tested amino...
Abstract Background Selenium (Se) has been recognized as an essential micronutrient for nearly all forms of life. In recent decades, broiler responses to dietary Se supplemental levels and sources have received considerable attention. On environmental grounds, organic trace mineral utilization in practical feeds defended due its higher bioavailability. such feeds, minerals are provided simultaneously the same supplement inorganic salts or chelates, a fact commonly ignored assays conducted...
Abstract 1. The net absorption and the biological efficacy of DL‐methionine hydroxy analogue free acid (MHA‐FA) were evaluated in chickens under heat stress. 2. In a growth assay, finishing broilers 21 to 42 d age fed on diets containing graded amounts two supplements; basal diet was composed practical ingredients. 3. From slope‐ratio analysis, equimolar MHA‐FA relative determined be 83% (confidence limits 61 115%) from weight gain responses, 67% (47 91%) food conversion responses. This...
