Dynamics of readily digested maize starch in broiler diets

The reduction of dietary protein in broiler feeds has the potential to reduce feed costs and environmental impact, while improving bird welfare. Low-protein diets are usually formulated by reducing soybean meal inclusions and increasing the supplementation of amino acids. A recent study looked at the impact of readily digested maize starch in broiler feeds. Dietary protein levels are reduced by increasing feed grain inclusions which in turn increases dietary starch and consequently impacts th
