Low feed intake in the first few days (0–3 days) after hatching significantly impairs amino acid (AA) absorption in broilers by retarding the development of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and reducing the efficiency of the digestive system

Low feed intake in the first few days post-hatch significantly impairs broiler amino acid (AA) absorption by <mark jscontroller=”DfH0l” jsuid=”YkLQac_a” data-processed=”true”>restricting essential nutrient supply, reducing villus height, and hindering intestinal development</mark>.
This deficiency limits the necessary components for early rapid protein
synthesis and muscle growth, leading to reduced digestive enzyme
activity, poor nutrient uptake, and decreased weight gain.
