Influence of varying branched-chain amino acid ratio in diets containing corn gluten meal, L-isoleucine, and L-valine on 0–21 d turkey poult performance, relative mTOR activation, and apparent ileal amino acid digestibility

SUMMARY: The branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine, and valine are essential AA needed for energy production, protein synthesis, and anabolic signaling functions via the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in turkeys. Imbalanced BCAA ratios can lead to antagonism and degrada...
