Ideal Amino Acid Profile for Broiler Chickens Expressed in Standardised Digestible Values
SD Lys:Lys SD Thr:Lys
SD (Met+Cys):Lys SD Val:Lys SD Ile:Lys SD Arg:Lys SD Trp:Lys SD His:Lys SD Leu:Lys
SD (Phe+Tyr):Lys

For the last several years, lots of trials carried out in collaboration
with European institutes (Soumeh et al., 2015 ; Rondia et al., 2016 ; Gomes et al., 2017 ; Millet et al., 2018) and published at the Journées de la Recherche Porcine have demonstrated that optimal piglet feed intake and growth are obtained at 70% SID Val:Lys. For broilers, thanks to L-Valine, decreasing protein is now less complex without impacting performance. Valine is the fourth limiting amino acid in broiler diets and is deficient in most European countries.
Ideal Amino Acid Profile for Piglets (up to 25kg live weight) Expressed in Standardised Ileal Digestible (SID) Values
Lys:Lys Thr:Lys Met:Lys
(Met+Cys):Lys Trp:Lys Val:Lys Ile:Lys
Leu:Lys His:Lys
(Phe+Tyr):Lys
100 65 30 60 22 70 53
100 32 95
The response to Valine is very high: from 74 to 80% SD Val:Lys, +3.4% ADG and -2.1% FCR. What’s more, low CP diets help to improve meat yields and
meat quality. For more detailed information, please contact your Technical
Sales Manager to visit you and present the new booklets for broilers “Ideal amino acid profile and low crude protein diets for broiler chickens” and for piglets “Amino Acid Balance to Maximize Piglet Feed Intake”.
ANDREW MCSHANE ELECTED AIC CHAIRMAN Andrew McShane has been elected Chairman of the Agricultural Industries Confederation to take over from Nick Major who has held the post for the past two years. In addition, four new members have been appointed to the AIC Board. Andrew, who is Managing Director of
Hutchinsons, has worked his way up through the agrisupply industry and so has an insight into many aspects of AIC’s remit. He became interested in crop protection while studying for biochemistry at Edinburgh then went on to do an MSc. in the topic at Cranfield and Silsoe. He started his career in a general merchant involved in feed, grain purchasing and providing arable inputs. He developed into an agronomist and also moved into sales management. He joined Hutchinsons in 1993 and was appointed Managing
Director 10 years ago. Andrew has had a strong commitment to industry stewardship and the role of science in crop production.
