This could limit the use of this strategy in commercial farms despite its potential to improve the sustainability of production. The objective of this meta-analysis was to study the effect of lowering dietary CP in fast-growing broilers with a focus on growth performance. A database was built from 29 papers published after 2016, for a total of 106 trials and 268 treatments. To be included in the database, trials had to be iso-energy and iso-lysine. Trials in which the growth rate for the control treatment was below 90% of the genetic potential of the birds were not included. The effect of the CP level was analyzed by multiple linear regression, with the trial as a random effect. A subsample of 33 trials (AACON) met the recommended amino acid (AA)-to-lysine ratios for indispensable AAs. In this subdatabase, average daily gain and average daily feed intake were maintained when dietary CP was reduced. The feed conversion ratio increased by 1.3% when CP was reduced by a one percentage point. The same CP reduction decreased daily nitrogen (N) excretion by 10.4%, whereas N retention was not affected by CP. In conclusion, respecting the ideal protein concept with the use of feed-grade AA allows for a decrease in dietary CP and N excretion with a limited impact on growth performance.
