Valine and Isoleucine: The next limiting amino acids in broiler diets
Drastic genetic changes have occurred in many commercial broiler lines during the last years with regard to performance. This genetic improvement needs a corresponding adjustment of our knowledge about amino acid nutrition in broilers. Additionally, today broiler feed formulators are not only focused on minimising the costs. They also have to take into consideration environmental issues and the...
متن کاملNutritional Feasibility of L-Valine Inclusion in Commercial Broiler Diets
Introduction The poultry industry has recently dealt with fluctuating spikes in the price of various feed ingredients. When the cost of protein-rich feed ingredients goes up, the reduction of dietary crude protein via the use of commercially available amino acids becomes an effective formulation strategy that can reduce diet costs, maintain broiler performance and not interfere with feed millin...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Valine and Isoleucine
The isotope studies of Strassman et al. (3, 4) first implicated cu-acetolactate and cu-aceto-cY-hydroxybutyrate as biosynthetic precursors of valine and isoleucine, respectively. The observed accumulation of acetolactate by Escherichia coli (5, 6) and of the decarboxylation products of acetolactate and acetohydroxybutyrate by Neurospora crassa (7) when mutants of these organisms are grown with ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Dietary Valine on Performance, SerumAntibody Titre and Bone Mineralization in Broiler Chicks
The present study was carried out to examine the effect of supplemental dietary valine in the starter diet of broilers (0-15 d of age) on performance, antibodyresponse to Newcastle disease virus vaccination and bone mineralization. The experiment was conducted using 300 Ross 308 male broilers. One-day-old chicks were randomly allotted to 3 groups; each group consisted of 5 replicate pens with 2...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Valine and Isoleucine
Evidence published in recent years has shown that the biosynthesis of valine and isoleucine proceeds by a similar sequence of reactions (24). Fig. 1 depicts the reactions considered to be involved. In this report only Reactions II, III, and IV will be considered. Reaction II, the isomerization of the Lu-hydroxy$keto acid (ac-acetolactate for valine biosynthesis and a-aceto-a-hydroxybutyrate for...
