To Compute Variation of a Diet:
Enter the Percent of Each Ingredient and see the nutrient content and variation: <%%>

Variation affects growth more than overall cost. Use of Proximates (INGREDIENT CONTENTS) to estimate amino acids in feed significantly reduces the variation from the estimates above.

To Compute Broiler Chick Protein and Amino Acid Requirements based on unconstrained growth, select a breed, flock sex, and bird age.
This program estimates the amino acid requirements of broiler chicks based on expected
growth. This technique does not utilize the Ideal Protein approach but assumes that amino
acids are different for muscle growth, maintainence and feathering, based on rate of
growth and actual live weight. Increasing or decreasing energy to protein ratio will
affect carcass composition and may be desirable depending on market requirements.
