Nutrients

[Jeffery Escobar]

The nutrients needed by birds are water, amino acids, some fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Energy is a characteristic of certain nutrients (e.g., amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates) that allow birds to perform metabolic reaction and “work” to stay alive, grow, or exhibit other productive traits such as reproduction. There are no nutritional requirements for carbohydrates and protein. Birds required amino acids, not protein. Further, it has been proved that carbohydrate-free diets can be fed to all animals without any negative metabolic consequences. Therefore, there are no carbohydrate requirements and there are no carbohydrate deficiencies.

Very informative.

Thanks for knowledge dissemination.

Dietary arginine improves broiler breeder hatchability by <mark>supporting the immune system, increasing egg production and size, and potentially enhancing embryo development</mark>. Magnesium oxide contributes to overall health, muscle growth, and energy levels, which are crucial for egg production and the viability of the embryo. While specific dietary recommendations vary, studies suggest digestible arginine levels around 1.26% to 1.54% and magnesium oxide levels around 3-4 pounds per ton of feed for broiler breeders can optimize performance.
