Abstract:
Protein sources play a vital role in successful production in broiler as well as layer chicken. Feed sources are classified in to both conventional and unconventional sources. In Tamilnadu, during this current COVID 19 situation, the cost of raw materials has been increased, especially Soybean meal (SBM). This makes the entry of various unconventional protein sources. Protein nutrition has a high economic preference, since it is an expensive material rather than other raw materials. The optimum inclusion of protein should be needed in the poultry rationing to achieve maximum performance. Fortunately, access to these protease enzymes and synthetic amino acids has become available with the recent advancement of biotechnology.
