In this special rerun episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Oluyinka Olukosi, associate professor at the University of Georgia, discusses reduced protein diets in broiler nutrition. He explains the challenges of replacing soybean meal, the role of alternative protein feedstuffs, and how amino acids influence performance and gut health. Learn how these approaches impact both production and environmental outcomes.

“It’s not been practical to totally replace soybean meal because the diets ultimately may become impractical to use and, depending on the amount of these alternative protein feedstuffs, you may also begin to see a deterioration in growth performance,” says Dr. Olukosi.
