Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of amino acids in poultry diets has a history that reaches back more than 70 years. Currently, amino acids not only refer to the building blocks of proteins, but also, our knowledge of their effects on biochemical processes are increasing. As we can see from the publications in the first part of this Special Issue, amino acids are already playing a role during embryo development and can affect physiological processes post-hatch through nutrient-sensing pathways. We received manuscripts dealing with various amino acid requirements of layers and broilers which show that some knowledge is still lacking, especially about influencing factors. As we can see, not only pure amino acids, but also dipeptides can be effective in improving performance.
With the initiation of the second edition of this Special Issue, our aim is to gather more research in the field of amino acid nutrition (including dipeptides) of all types of poultry and provide insights into the current directions of research. We invite researchers to submit original research papers or reviews that address the effects of amino acids on the performance and metabolism of poultry. Topics may include poultry performance, quality of animal products, metabolism, and in ovo feeding and its long-term effects.
