“…From AA requirement studies in the literature it is indicated that most of the variation in IAAR estimates is provided by differences in bird (genotype, gender, age, performance level [ 4 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 14 , 17 , 20 , 22 , 23 , 45 , 53 , 59 , 60 ]), diet (especially feed ingredients, dietary protein concentration, balance and availability of AA [ 4 , 5 , 8 , 10 , 46 ]), response parameter (e.g., BW gain, feed conversion rate, protein deposition, body composition [ 8 , 22 , 42 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 54 , 56 , 57 , 60 ]) and the applied mathematical model for AA requirement assessment [ 8 , 22 , 42 , 45 , 47 ]. Even if requirement data are expressed in terms of digestible AA, regardless of total vs. ileal (praecaecal) or true vs. apparent digestible, the observed considerable variation of IAAR literature data did not decline [ 59 ].…”
