Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Research addressing digestible Lys requirement data of modern broilers from 4 to 6 wk of age is limited. Male broilers (1,632 Ross×Ross TP16 and 3,000 Cobb×Cobb 700) were used in separate experiments to determine the digestible Lys requirements from 28 to 42 d. In each experiment, 2 diets (dilution and summit) consisting of corn, soybean meal, animal protein meal, and peanut meal were formulated to be adequate in all other amino acids. The dilution and summit diets were blended to create 9 titration diets. A control diet formulated to contain corn, soybean meal, and animal protein meal as the primary ingredients was used for comparison with the titration diets. Body weight gain, feed intake, digestible Lys intake, digestible Lys intake:BW gain, feed conversion, mortality, carcass yields, and physiological measurements were assessed during experimentation. Digestible Lys requirements were estimated using a quadratic broken-line model. In experiment 1, the digestible Lys requirement for male Ross×Ross TP16 broilers was determined at 0.988, 1.053, 0.939, and 0.962%, respectively, for BW gain, feed conversion, carcass weight, and total breast meat weight. In experiment 2, the digestible Lys requirement for male Cobb×Cobb 700 broilers ranged from 0.965, 1.012, 1.029, 0.987, and 0.981%, respectively, for 28- to 42-d BW gain, feed conversion, carcass weight, total breast meat weight, and total breast meat yield. Digestible Lys requirements for male Ross×Ross TP16 and Cobb×Cobb 700 broilers were estimated at 1.001 and 0.995%, respectively, based upon averages of live performance and meat yield responses. Both strains required the highest requirement estimate of digestible Lys to optimize feed conversion.
