AA are the _ _ _ of proteins
Basic building blocks
Non-essential AA (Gly, Ala, Asp, Asx, Glu, Gln, Pro)
Body can synthesize at sufficient levels
Essential AA’s used to formulate ideal protein concept (Lys, Thr, Met, Arg, Val, Top)
Not made by body in sufficient levels
Stereoisomerism: _-AA have positive effect on body, _-AA have adverse effects
L, D
Animals can only convert L-_ into protein
Methionine
Digestion @ Tertiary Level
HCL in proventriculus
_ in the _ hydrolysis to larger _
Pepsin proventriculus, peptides
Pancreatic _, split peptide chains into _ chains
endopeptidases, smaller
_ at Lysine and Arginine residuals
Trypsin
_ at aromatic amino acid residuals (,,_)
Chymotrypsin, Phe, Tyr, Trp
_ at aliphatic amino acids residuals (,,_)
Elastase, Gly, Ser, Ala
After the split of smaller peptide chains into _ they are absorbed by _ transporters from _ to portal _
AA, Active, enterocyte, blood
Ideal Protein Concept refers to the right balance of essential AA in their diet to maximize growth, production, and health while minimizing waste and inefficiency, this concept is based on the idea that protein quality (balance of AA) is more important than _ _
protein quantity
Ideal Protein contains essential AA in the exact rations needed with _ being the reference AA
Lysine
Other AA are expressed as a percentage relative to _
Lysine
_ is often used as a reference AA
Lysine
There are no metabolic interactions between _ and other _
Lysine, AA
_ can be converted to _
Met, Cys
_ would be the first limiting AA in grain and soybean diets
Met
_ is likely to become first-limiting AA if _ meal is replaced by another plant protein supplement
Lys, soybean
As energy demands increase, _ demands decrease
Lysine
Advancements in Genetics in poultry
Increase BW, FCR Improvement, Breast Yield Increase
Dietary AA to calories _ as birds age
decrease
Feed intake _ as birds age
increase
Broiler breeders are the parental stock of _ birds
meat
Broiler breeders are extremely efficient in converting feed into _ and rapid _
protein, growth
Objectives in broiler breeders during rearing
Flock uniformity, BW control
Objectives in broiler breeders during laying
Egg production, eq quality, fertility, hatchability
