Group Description
As we know, poultry production systems are continually evolving. One of the primary causes that determines feeding and nutrition is the improvement made in the genetic potential of poultry birds ( both broilers and layers) and this is done to harness the best potential in the shortest period and with best efficiencies. There are many other factors that have a bearing on feeding and nutrition and some of them are driven by consumers, societal needs, and to cater to the production of specialized poultry products. In some cases, feeding and nutritional may also be determined by government regulations, cost of production, access to desired raw materials and other environmental concerns.
As members of the poultry community – we represent different global regions and different scenarios that control feeding and nutrition, and your experiences will be useful for every member in the community. We feel that knowledge shared on this platform will be useful to all in either improving operations, gaining on production or for taking corrective actions. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.

Critical Role in Protein Synthesis: Amino acids, particularly the essential ones like lysine, methionine, and threonine, are indispensable for the synthesis of structural and functional proteins in poultry.

Threonine <div>Helps with gut health and development, and can improve body weight gain, feed utilization, and carcass quality</div>
-
Helps with protein accretion and immunological and physiological functioning. It can also help hens develop faster and boost their immune response to Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD).
-
Several amino acids are important for poultry production,
Methionine – An essential precursor of L-carnitine, which helps with lipid and energy metabolism
-
The second limiting essential amino acid in poultry diets. Lysine is important for protein synthesis and muscle growth.
-
Their availability directly influences the rate of muscle accretion and overall growth performance.
