| Summary: | Analysis of ileal contents rather than excreta is a more reliable method for assessing amino acid digestibility inpoultry. Debate will continue among nutritionists about the relative merits of apparent and true digestible amino acidsystems. However, there is no doubt that all digestible amino systems are superior to the use of total amino acids infeed formulations. Present methods of evaluating amino acid availability have specific applications andshortcomings. Standardized ileal digestibility is discussed as the concept of choice and some areas for futureresearch are highlighted. Performance data in growing broiler chicks demonstrate the advantages of feed formulationbased on standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids in feed ingredients. |
