Supporting optimal duck performance

New research looked at ways to improve duck productivity. Previous trials have shown that providing adequate levels of methionine improves the performance of poultry in general and that the bioefficacy of DL-methionine (DL-Met) and hydroxy-methionine (OH-Met) sustains growth in broilers specifically. New studies looked at the performance, feather growth and carcass traits of ducks fed diets supplemented with different levels of the two methionine sources. Body weight gain was similar for both s
