Effects of supplemented nonessential amino acids and nonprotein nitrogen on growth and nitrogen excretion characteristics of broiler chickens fed diets with very low crude protein concentrations
Reducing dietary CP for broiler chickens below a certain threshold results in decreased growth, even when the supply of essential amino acids and glycine equivalent (Glyequi) is adequate, probably because other nonessential amino acids (neAA) are growth-limiting. Nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) might be u...
