Organic farming is the practice of cultivating crops without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Farmscaping is habitat manipulation system of planting plants near the crop to attract beneficial insects by ...
Effects of feeding reduced crude protein diets while maintaining essential amino acids and total glycine + serine concentrations on growth performance, nitrogen excretion, plasma uric acid concentrations, and carcass characteristics of broilers
(2016-10-04)
An excessive reduction of crude protein (CP) content in broiler diets has been resulting in poor growth performance. This may be due to sub-optimum concentrations of Val, Ile, Arg, and Trp. Additionally, total Gly + Ser ...
