Extract

lysine is an essential amino acid that promotes normal growth by helping to maintain the proper protein balance in the body. Most vegetable protein sources used in poultry diet formulations are moderate to low in lysine contents; hence supplementation with lysine is inevitable in growing broilers to ensure rapid growth and optimum efficiency of feed utilization. Adequate supply of nutrients during the starter improves gut development and could result in long term improvements in feed utilization. In order to evaluate the effect of different digestible lysine dietary levels on growth and immune response in starter, this experiment was done.
