1. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of supplementing higher concentrations (100% vs. 110%) of critical amino acids (CAA) on performance (body weight gain - BWG, feed efficiency - FE), slaughter variables and nitrogen retention in broiler chicken (1-6 weeks of age) fed graded levels of...
