Abstract
Reductions in dietary protein level and supplementation with certain crystalline amino acids is a well-established method of formulating diets to achieve a more ideal amino acid pattern and to reduce nitrogen excretion. Up to 35% reduction in nitrogen excretion may be achieved by supplementing pig diets with lysine, methionine, threonine, and tryptophan. In broiler nutrition, 41% less N was excreted on feeding diets with 153 g CP per kg supplemented with amino acids
