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.

Generally, poultry receives nutrients through the consumption of natural feedstuffs, but some key essential amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan)
-
Chickens, like other birds, don’t synthesize enough glycine or proline relative to their nutritional needs. These two amino acids are abundant in animal proteins, such as ruminant meat, bone meal, and hydrolyzed feather meal
-
Amino acids are structural components of proteins, and animals need 22 amino acids to synthesize proteins. Amino acids that animals cannot synthesize must be supplied in their dietsynthesize must be supplied in their diet

-
An essential component of mucin in gut health and is important for protein synthesis and maintenance.
-
Contains sulfur and is important for growth, feather synthesis, muscle accretion, and protecting cells from oxidative stress
-
Balancing these amino acids in poultry feed is crucial to ensure optimal growth, reproduction, and overall health
