Estimation of digestible tryptophan:lysine ratios for maximum performance, egg quality and welfare of white-egg-laying hens by fitting the different non-linear models

A total of 360 Hy-Line W-36 hens at 30 wk of age were assigned to 6 dietary treatments that consisted of 6 different (11, 15, 19, 23, 27 and 31) digestible Trp:Lys ratios. Hens were fed the experimental diets from 30 to 36 wk of age. Productive traits were recorded every wk and egg quality was measu...
