One thousand and fifteen commercial male broilers from 37 to 49 days of age were used to evaluate different digestible lysine levels. A completely randomized trial was used, with five treatments (0.90, 0.95, 1.00, 1.05 and 1.10% of digestible lysine, respectively), seven repetitions and 35 experimental units, with 29 birds each. Lysine levels were added in isoenergetic (3,250 kcal of ME/kg) and isoproteic (18% of CP) corn and soy meal rations. Weight gain, feed intake, feed:gain ratio, carcass characteristics and […]
