AMINO ACID IN POULTRY DIET
Amino Acids for Poultry: Growing poultry require similar amino acid balances as other growing animals, but they require arginine in their diets because they do not have a urea cycle and therefore cannot synthesize it on their own. A deficiency of arginine often results in feather deformation in chickens

There is no net synthesis of arginine in poultry because they lack carbamoylphosphate synthetase 1 (CPS-1) in liver mitochondria as well as no ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) in kidney. The digestible arginine requirement of broiler chickens is about 5 to 12% greater than that of digestible lysine and normally covered by the abundance of arginine in feedstuffs. Thus, arginine is rarely supplemented in poultry diets.

Generally, poultry receives nutrients through the consumption of natural feedstuffs, but some key essential amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine and tryptophan), vitamins and minerals are often offered as synthetic supplements
