Amino acids: Crude protein reduction: Benefits on intestinal health, environment, and performance
Chair: Jason T. Lee, CJ Bio America
Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 2:00 pm CST
Reducing dietary crude protein benefits the environment and the animal specifically intestinal health. However, as crude protein reduction expands in the US poultry industry, there are some challenges in dietary formulation especially around branched chain amino acid ratios. Swine nutritionists have adopted model predicting BCAA ratios to assist with these challenges. This symposium will provide a swine perspective on reduced crude protein diets, discuss the antagonistic relationship of branched chain amino acids, highlight using synthetic branched chain amino acids to address this antagonism and maximize performance and highlight the benefit on intestinal health of reducing dietary crude protein.
