Phase-Specific Nutrient Requirements in Broilers: Implications for Behavior, Gut Health, Performance, Meat Quality, Welfare, and Economics
Abstract: The broiler industry plays an inevitable role in global food security, requiring optimal formulation strategies tailored to each growth phase, starter, grower, and finisher for sustainable production. This review explores phase-specific nutrient requirements and their implications for broiler performance, meat quality, welfare, and economics. During the starter phase (1–10 days), nutrition focuses on immune development, gut health, and skeletal growth, with high protein and low energy needs. In the grower …

Effect of Energy, Lysine and Energy/Lysine Ratio on Growth Performance Nutrient Digestibility and Serum Profile of Growing Locally Adapted Turkey
Abstract: This study investigated the effects of different levels of energy, lysine and energy/lysine ratios on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and serum biochemical indices of locally adapted turkeys. The experiment lasted for 28 days. A total of one hundred and forty-four, 4-weeks old locally adapted turkey poults were completely randomized to six dietary treatments in a 2×3 factorial arrangement, replicated twice at 12 poults per replicate. Six diets were formulated. Diets …
