The FI was not influenced by dLys levels during starter phase. The BWG and FCR was improved with supplementation of dLys levels. During starter phase FI and BWG was not influenced by CP levels, however, FCR was improved. The results of the grower phase indicate that FI was significantly influenced by protein sources, CP levels, as well as, by dLys levels. The BWG, similarly, was significantly influenced by protein sources, CP levels, and dLys levels. The FCR during the grower phase was improved by increasing CP level. The FCR was also improved when fed CM based diets. Supplementation of dLys significantly influenced FI and BGW during grower phase. The FCR was also improved with the supplementation of dLys levels. The results indicate that the birds fed dLys supplemented diets had significant effect on ileal digestibility of protein. The results of the study showed that ileal digestibility for protein was not influenced by CP levels. The present study resulted that some of the organs are significantly influenced by dLys levels and CP levels, whereas, other are in influenced by protein sources. Amino acid supplementation showed significant difference on ileal digestibility of protein and gut development in broilers.

The poultry sector is playing a substantial role in agriculture sector of Pakistan. The extensive
research in poultry has brought vital changes that accelerated growth and improved FCR. Poultry
diets are majorly formulated cost effective for the sustainable poultry industry. For this reason,
the main focus is on protein sources which, if maintained to an adequate level with the
requirement results in cost effective feeding. In the coming days, main focus of the nutritionists
would be on replacement of expensive sources of protein during feed formulation. For this
reason, their first choice may be the selection of poorly digestible protein sources such as CM
and SFM. These sources are cheaper as compare to the SBM which is imported hence increasing
the feed cost. The poorly digestible protein sources, furthermore, in hind gut may be subjected to
microbial fermentation, results in formation of nitrogenous products that are not only harmful to
birds, but also excreted into litter bedding and generate ammonia, nitrous acid and nitrous oxide,
the latter one is a powerful greenhouse gas with an effect about 300 times compared with carbon
dioxide. The potential solution to this problem is supplementation of synthetic amino acids in
low nutrient density (CP) diets formulated by using cheaper and poorly digestible protein
sources. For this reason, a study was designed with the objectives to determine the impact of
dLys, on growth performance, ileal digestibility of protein and gut development in broilers fed
poorly digestible protein sources (CM and SFM). An experiment with 624 mixed sex 1-d-old
broilers (Ross 308) was conducted to test the hypothesis that supplementation of dLys may
improves growth performance of the broilers fed poorly digestible protein sources (CM and
SFM). The interaction effects of the protein source (CM vs. SFM), CP levels (high vs. low) and
dLys (recommended vs. supplemented) were tested in a factorial arrangement of 12 (2 × 2 × 3)
dietary treatments and SBM as a control diet was used. The results indicate the birds fed diets

Supplementation of dLys above the recommended levels improves the growth performance, ileal
digestibility of protein and gut development in broilers fed poorly digestible protein sources (CM
and SFM). In conclusion, the negative effects of poorly digestible protein sources in broilers may
be ameliorated by supplementation of dLys.
