This Good Practice focuses on the implementation of the Ideal Protein Concept as an innovative nutritional strategy in broiler production. Instead of formulating diets based on high crude protein levels, this approach provides a precise balance of digestible amino acids tailored to the birds’ physiological needs. By reducing excess dietary protein and supplementing specific syntheticl amino acids, the practice improves nitrogen utilization, decreases ammonia emissions, and enhances animal health and litter quality.

As a result, the Ideal Protein Concept contributes to more sustainable, efficient, and welfare-oriented broiler farming systems.
