    Abstract: Offering broiler chickens a low protein diet supplemented with an array of synthetic amino acids is not fully effective in promoting maximal growth and both bodyweight and feed conversion ratio (FCR). However the present invention shows, growth rate and FCR can be promoted by the addition of available Phosphorus to the low protein diet and that this strategy is effective in restoring performance losses associated with the diet with low protein concentration. Therefore, the present invention relates to a method for improving the nutritional value of animal feed comprising a marginal protein content. More specifically, the invention relates to a method for improving weight gain and feed conversion ratio, which method comprises feeding the animal with a low protein diet and an extra supplementation of phosphorous.
