Age-dependent amino acid digestibility of common Australian feedstuffs

In this episode, we talk with Dr Mukti Barua from Massey University about the work she has completed on the standardised ileal amino acid digestibility of common feed ingredients used in poultry diets.  For more information on Dr Barua's research, links to some of her published papers are outlined below.  * An investigation into the influence of age on the standardized amino acid digestibility of wheat and sorghum in broilers [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2021.101466] * Influence of age on the standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of corn and barley in broilers [https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11123575] * Basal ileal endogenous amino acid flow in broiler chickens as influenced by age [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2021.101269]
