Economically optimal amino acid levels in broiler diets

Amino acid recommendations usually allow for maximum technical or biological performance, which is not necessarily the same as best economic performance. Production goals of a broiler operation depend on optimal dietary amino acid levels. Experimental data suggests that many effects of increasing levels of dietary amino acids on economic performance in subsequent phases are additional.
