“…However, NC diet lacking nutrients decreased the ATTD of CP and most amino acids, including essential and nonessential amino acids, whereas the supplementation of exogenous protease to NC diet (PA) improved the ATTD of CP and most amino acids. In consistent with the current study, supplementation of exogenous protease to diets increased the apparent AA digestibility of arginine, threonine, isoleucine, aspartate, lysine, serine, and cysteine ( Angel et al, 2011 ; Shad et al., 2022 ). Soybean meal have been known to have substantial antinutritional factors, and thus it caused poor digestibility and growth performance ( Erdaw et al, 2017 ).…”
