Effect of over processed fish meal in diet formulation for broilers according to digestible amino acid basis

Digestible amino acid (DAA) basis formulation allows including low quality protein constituents in diets. In the first test, commercial fish meal (FM) was over processed by autoclaving at 121 °C and 1 kg cm-1 for 0, 30, 60 and 90 min. True digestibility (TD) of amino acids (AA) and protein digestibility (PD) in FM were determined in vivo using a precision-feeding assay with roosters. A second in vitro test was carried out to determine if, either filtration pepsin (FP) or ninhydrine pepsin (NP) assays showed potential for predicting in vivo PD on FM. In a third test, two days old mixed chicks were distributed in eight treatments with six replicates of 20 chicks each in a randomized factorial 2 x 4 design. One factor assessed was over processed FM and total amino acid basis (TAA) or DAA formulation. Results show that true digestibility of analyzed AA and PD in FM decreased (P0.05) between FM and formulation methods. There was a significant (P
