Role of essential amino acids in poultry nutrition

Essential amino acids (EAA) gained from a balanced protein-rich diet will keep your broiler and layer flocks in good condition, performing well.

EAA are critical to the correct and proper functioning of so many key biochemical and physiological functions within a bird’s body. Presence of adequate amounts of the full and necessary range of amino acids supports peak performance and attainment genetic potential, for maximum farm profits.

Here are the 5 key benefits of essential amino acids in poultry nutrition:

1. Critical role in protein synthesis: availability of essential amino acids trigger an upregulation of protein synthesis.
2. Regulation of metabolic pathways: substrate and regulators stabilising the pathways that lead to cellular growth.
3. Precision formula for optimal growth: satisfying the biochemical needs for the building blocks for synthesis of proteins with a specific formulation profile.
4. Minimization of nitrogen excretion: estimating a more measured and precise approach to protein intake prevents excessive protein uptake and increased nitrogenous content in waste.
5. Immune function and disease resistance: a good balance of amino acids that are required to produce antibodies and other immune-related biochemicals.
