Implication

Review reveals optimized amino acid formulation reduces dietary nitrogen in swine and poultry, highlighting benefits for gut health, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability.

Key Points

  • To review recent advances in monogastric protein nutrition, focusing on replacing excess crude protein with targeted essential and functional amino acids to enhance animal health, production efficiency, and sustainability.
  • Synthesized findings on amino acid requirements, modern feed formulation strategies, and metabolic roles of specific amino acids in swine and poultry production.
  • Formulating diets to meet specific essential amino acid requirements rather than crude protein targets lowers excess dietary nitrogen, suppresses harmful bacterial proliferation in the gut, and decreases nitrogen excretion in manure.
  • Functional amino acids like threonine and arginine mediate vital non-growth processes, including intestinal mucosal turnover, immune response, wound healing, vasodilation, and mitigation of heat and oxidative stress.
