The biggest challenge in organic poultry production is meeting requirements in sulfur-containing amino acids (SCAA), due to high demands first of all for methionine (Met), and the prohibited use of synthetic Met in diets, regarding organic farming rules. The poor quality of protein feedstuffs cannot always be compensated by increasing the concentration of dietary crude protein and by higher feed intake, because of disproportion and impaired utilization of amino acids. Incorporation in the diets of farm-produced feedstuffs and some of the alternative organic protein ingredients that are quality sources of SCAA may contribute to an increase in the level of Met.
