Abstract
This review aimed likely to demonstrate the importance of valine, isoleucine and leucine in poultry nutrition, highlighting the metabolism of these amino acids, their functions and requirements for broilers and laying hens. When working with the concept of ideal protein and reduced levels of crude protein in the diet, the addition of industrial amino acids is essential for animals to receive the optimal intake of essential and non-essential amino acids. The valine, isoleucine and leucine are essential amino acids for birds in all stages of creation, in diets based on corn and soybean meal and low protein levels, valine is considered the fourth limiting amino acid and isoleucine the fifth. Already leucine hardly needs to be added to the diets, as it is found in large quantities in foods commonly used in the formulations. Besides the importance of defining the nutritional requirements of these amino acids, is necessary to define its relations with lysine, avoiding excess amino acids and a possible antagonism between them.

Além do alto custo das fontes protéicas utilizadas na alimentação das aves, existe a preocupação com a poluição ambiental por nitrogênio, o que levou ao desenvolvimento de pesquisas que visam o atendimento adequado das exigências nutricionais das aves, evitando assim excesso de nutrientes
Os aminoácidos alifáticos por serem essenciais para as aves em todas as suas fases de vida devem ser estudados para que se atendam as suas exigências para a criação de frangos de corte e poedeiras e também suas exigências para cada fase de vida, assim como suas relações com a lisina, evitando excesso de aminoácidos e o antagonismo entre os mesmo
Summary
