Threonine Proves Indispensable to Improve Broiler Yield

The market today has various types of feed acids, of which threonine is forecast to hold dominance. Threonine is used to improve protein synthesis in feed, enabling weight gain in animals. It also offers them better immunity. Dearth of threonine can retard growth of animals and cause digestive problems.

Threonine is considered an essential nutrient to offer holistic diet to broilers. Dietary imbalance of threonine might compromise with their growth performance.

Effective nutrition, as we know, is indispensable for a profitable broiler business. Modern broilers can achieve 2 kg of body weight on consuming nearly 6.6 pound of feed within five weeks.

A nutritionally balanced diet and genetic selection are chief drivers for improving broiler growth.

To achieve this, however, protein and digestible energy are required, which can make broiler feed highly expensive.

Farmers are therefore using digestible amino acids to minimize feed cost. Modern day farmers are experimenting with various novel methods to improve yield. As a result the demand for feed acid is surging around the world.
