I want to use L-argenine in broiler starter diet and I have some information about this product such as its purity, DM content, and I can calculate its CP content. But I cannot find any information about its AME content through the web.
The AME of Arginine will be roughly the same of that of digestible protein being 4.3 Kcal according to the attached table.
The contribution of any added amino acid to the energy content of a poultry diet will be however quite small. So the uncertainty in the energy content of other ingredients will probably be larger than the contribution in AME by added amino acids.
