In this bonus episode of The Poultry Keepers Podcast , host Rip Stalvey dives into one of the most critical yet overlooked components of poultry nutrition—amino acids. Whether you're raising layers, broilers, breeders, or show birds, understanding the role of amino acids can dramatically improve your flock’s health, productivity, behavior, and appearance. Learn how amino acids like methionine, lysine, and threonine affect feather development, muscle growth, egg production, immunity, and even temperament. Discover why crude protein percentages don’t tell the whole story, and what to look for in a well-formulated poultry feed. If you’ve ever wondered why your birds aren't performing at their best despite having “enough protein,” this episode is for you. Tune in for practical tips on identifying amino acid deficiencies, interpreting feed labels, and balancing your poultry’s diet for optimal results.
