Advancing the development of low-protein broiler feed

Feeding chickens a low-protein diet has led to a notable reduction in the environmental impact of poultry farming. However, this diet negatively impacts muscle mass, consequently affecting meat production. In this study, researchers explore the effects of supplementing a low-protein diet with amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Results reveal the mechanism through which amino acid supplementation offsets the negative effects of a low-protein diet in chickens. Chicken is one of the
