Effects of dietary digestible lysine levels on protein and fat deposition in the carcass of broilers

Abstract: An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of different levels of digestible lysine in the diets of male and female broilers on protein and fat deposition.

“…In experiments with chickens in the phases of 1 to 21, 10 to 20 and 10 to 21 days of age, respectively, Conhalato et al (1999), Edwards et al (1999) and Eits et al (2002) observed increased deposition of protein in the carcass as the lysine levels of the diet were elevated. However, these results differ from those found by Cella et al (2009) andTavernari et al (2009), who did not observe variation in protein deposition in male broilers in the period of 1 to 21 days of age fed diets supplemented with 11.4, 11.8, 12.2 and 12.6 g/kg and 10.73 and 11.60 and 12.47 g/kg lysine, respectively. The variation in the results observed between the studies might be related to the lysine levels assessed, to the genetic potential of the birds for protein deposition in the carcass, and to the composition of the experimental diet.…”

“…Growth responses and carcass composition of broilers to amino acids can be improved by appropriate levels (Kerr et al, 1999;Kamran et al, 2004;Corzo et al 2006;Tavernari et al, 2009;Mehri et al, 2010). On the other hand, depressed growth rate and increase abdominal fat were associated with failure in amino acid supplementation in conventional feeding system due to deficiency in amino acid intake (Saxena et al, 1962;Kidd et al, 1996).…”
