This project aims to generate advanced knowledge in amino acid metabolism in poultry in order to reduce soybean inclusion in broiler diets. Chicken-meat is the dominant animal protein source in human diets in Australia. However, Australia chicken-meat industry will need to increase production by more than 40 per cent to meet population growth by 2050. Soybean meal is the major protein source in poultry diets but the sustainability of increased soy production is problematic. The expected outcomes of this project will be an increase in our future capacity to produce affordable, healthy chicken-meat with humane animal welfare by novel dietary formulations. Chicken-meat production generates less greenhouse gases than its competitors but this project will contribute to the reduction of harmful environmental outputs and ensure food security for Australia.

该项目旨在产生家禽氨基酸代谢方面的先进知识，以减少肉鸡日粮中的大豆含量。鸡肉是澳大利亚人类饮食中的主要动物蛋白来源。然而，到 2050 年，澳大利亚鸡肉行业将需要将产量增加 40% 以上，才能满足人口增长的需要。豆粕是家禽饮食中的主要蛋白质来源，但大豆产量增加的可持续性存在问题。该项目的预期成果将是提高我们未来通过新型膳食配方生产价格实惠、健康且具有人道动物福利的鸡肉的能力。鸡肉生产产生的温室气体比竞争对手少，但该项目将有助于减少有害环境产出并确保澳大利亚的粮食安全。
