Broiler chickens fed with arginine above recommended levels: a metabolomics view

Feeding diets with levels of this amino acid above recommendations may influence positively the growth performance of broiler chickens, potentially in connection to the fact that arginine is an essential amino acid for chickens, feeding diets with levels of this amino acid above recommendations may influence positively the growth performance of broiler chickens. This database documents the serum profiles of broiler chickens fed a diet with a total arginine-to-lysine ratio of 1.20, deviating from the 1.06–1.08 ratio recommended by the breeding company.
