Reduction of dietary crude protein (CP) with amino acid supplementation has been effective in reducing the cost of poultry feed. However, the performance of broilers declines when CP levels reaches a point and can not be totally restored with amino acid supplementation. This study was conducted to determine if differences in feed intake were responsible for the reduced performance at low protei...

Background: Disorders of acid-base involve the complex interplay of many organ systems including brain, lungs, kidney, and liver. Compensations for acid-base disturbances within the brain are more complete, while limitations of compensations are more apparent for most systemic disorders. However, some of the limitations on compensations are necessary to survival, in that preservation of oxygena...
