摘要： This study was aimed to probe broiler responses to the maintenance of adequate level of glycine plus serine in low crude protein (CP) diets by glycine (Gly) addition from 8 to 42 days of age. A total of 1152 7-d-old birds were divided into 8 groups and fed with one of the following diets: (I) normal CP diet; (II, III vIV V) diets with 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6% points less CP than normal diet, respectively; (VI, VII, VIII) diets with 3%, 4.5% and 6% points reduced CP than the normal CP diet, respectively, and added with Gly to achieve 2.32% total Gly + Ser. Each treatment was replicated with 12 cages. Results showed that dietary CP reduction by 3% or higher compromised (p < .05) growth performance and carcase traits of broilers. Gly fortification in the diet with a 4.5% CP reduction produced similar accumulative growth performance relative to normal-CP group. When Gly fortification in the diet with a 6% CP reduction, the accumulative growth performance were improved (p < .05) but were still inferior (p < .05) to those in normal-CP group. Gly fortification supported a similar (p > .05) abdominal fat percentage of birds fed the diet containing 4.5% points less CP as compared with birds fed the normal-CP diet. Comparatively, Gly fortification in the diet with a 6% CP reduction resulted in breast muscle yield, serum UN content on d 21 and albumin content on d 42 comparable to (p > .05) those in normal-CP group. Collectively, the absence of Gly addition allowed dietary CP reduction by no more than 3% to obtain normal performance and carcase traits of broilers. Gly fortification in the diet with a 3% CP reduction induced no improvements in growth performance and carcase traits of broilers. However, maintain a level of 2.32% total Gly + Ser via Gly fortification enabled a reduction of dietary CP by 4.5% without deteriorating the accumulative growth performance and carcase traits of broilers.
