Increasing dietary phytate has a significant anti-nutrient effect on apparent ileal amino acid digestibility and digestible amino acid intake requiring increasing doses of phytase as evidenced by prediction equations in broilers [PDF]
: Cobb 400, male broilers (n = 4,752) were housed in 12 pens/diet and 33 birds/pen. There were 3 levels of phytate P (0.24, 0.345, or 0.45%) and 4 phytase doses (0, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 phytase units (FTU)/kg) to evaluate the influence of phytate and ...

Standardized ileal digestible amino acid and metabolizable energy content of wheat from different origins and the effect of exogenous xylanase on their determination in broilers. [PDF]
This study was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestible amino acids (SID AA) and nitrogen-corrected apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) contents of 6 wheats from different origins in China and incidentally to investigate the effects of ...

Determination of True Ileal Amino Acid Digestibility in the Growing Pig for Calculation of Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) [PDF]
Digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) has been recommended by the FAO for the evaluation of protein quality in human foods, but the application of DIAAS is currently limited because of a lack of published data on the true ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility of AAs in foods. The importance of DIAAS is highlighted.

Relationship between chemical composition and standardized ileal digestible amino acid contents of corn grain in broiler chickens. [PDF]
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility of corn grain and to use these data to develop prediction equations for estimating total amino acids (TAAs) and standardized ileal ...

True ileal amino acid digestibility and digestible indispensable amino acid scores (DIAASs) of plant-based protein foods [PDF]
Plant-based protein foods are increasingly common, but data on their nutritional protein quality are scarce. This study evaluated it for seitan (wheat-based food), tofu (soya-based food), soya milk, and a pea emulsion. The true ileal digestibility (TID) of their amino acids was determined in minipigs, to calculate the digestible indispensable amino ...

Digestible indispensable amino acid score and digestible amino acids in eight cereal grains [PDF]
To determine values for the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS), it is recommended that ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility values obtained in growing pigs are used to characterise protein quality in different foods. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the standardised ileal digestibility (SID) of AA in eight cereal grains

Variation among arthropod taxa in the amino acid content of exoskeleton and digestible tissue
Arthropod consumption provides amino acids to invertebrates and vertebrates alike, but not all amino acids in arthropods may be digestible as some are bound in the exoskeleton.

SUMMARY Databases compiling the amino acid (AA) digestibility values of 20 common poultry feed ingredients from 2 commercial companies, Evonik Degussa (Burr Ridge, IL; chick assays) and Ajinomoto Heartland (Chicago, IL; rooster assays), were used to investigate the influence of AA concentration on observed digestibility values.
