[Chemist. Ashfaq Ahmad]

Poultry require a balanced diet containing several essential nutrients including <mark>carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water</mark>. These nutrients are crucial for their overall health, growth, reproduction, and egg production.

The main nutrients needed by birds are water, amino acids, some fatty acids, minerals and vitamins.

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. In practical nutrition, we use carbohydrate sources like maize (i.e., corn), what, barley, and other cereal grains to provide energy and amino acids to birds.
