Effects of Dietary Net Energy/Lysine Ratio and Sex on Growth Performance, Digestive Organ Development, and Cecal Microbiota of Broiler Chickens

Effects of Dietary Net Energy/Lysine Ratio and Sex on Growth Performance, Digestive Organ Development, and Cecal Microbiota of Broiler Chickens

This study aimed to investigate the effects of the net energy (NE) and lysine ratio in low-protein diets on growth performance, intestinal development, and cecal microbiota of male and female broilers. A 4 × 2 factorial design was used with lysine levels at 1% and 1.5%, and net energy levels at 8.93...
