Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of addition or not supplement containing glutamine1 or glycine in diets with different digestible threonine:lysine ratios. In the first experiment, we used three hundred eighty four, male Cobb broilers were housed in metal cages between 10 to 21 days of age, in a factorial 3x2 (three digestible threonine:lysine ratio - 60, 65 e 70% - with or without addition of 0,75% supplement contend glutamine with eight replicate). The broilers were challenged with virulent vaccine against coccidiosis2 with ten times recommended dose for manufacturer. There was no significant interaction between treatments. The increased in digestible threonine:lysine ratio from 60 to 70% provided improvement on feed conversion. Other performance parameters, body weight uniformity and the faecal oocyst counting were not been influenced by digestible threonine:lysine ratio. The digestible threonine:lysine ratio of 65% improved intestinal health. Adding supplement contend glutamine has not change the performance and body weight uniformity, however, reduced the duodenal lesion score and oocyst counting in more than 25%. In the middle portion and in caecum the lesion score increased when the commercial product has been used. The digestible threonine:lysine ratio of 65% associated with 0,75% supplement containing glutamine to meet the requirements of broilers between 10 to 21 days old and provide a beneficial effect on health in the proximal portions of the intestine, when challenged with different species of Eimeria spp. In the second experiment, we used one thousand four hundred forty male Coob broilers, housed in floor pens, in a factorial 3x2 (three digestible threonine:lysine ratios - 55, 65 e 75% - with or without 0,4% glycine, with eight replications). The experimental phases were: 1 to 6, 1 to 12 and 1 to 18 days of age. There was no interaction between the treatments on the performance parameters. The digestible threonine:lysine ratios of 65 and 75% provided similar feed consumption and body weight gain. The digestible threonine:lysine ratio affected the feed conversion only at the phase from 1 to 6 days of age. The addition of glycine did not influence the feed intake. Between 1 to 6 and 1 to 12 days of age, greater weight gain was observed when the diet was supplemented with glycine. The feed conversion was improved at the phases 1 to 12 and 1 to 18 days of age, when the diet was supplemented with 0,4% of glycine. The blood glucose levels were not influenced by treatments between 1 to 18 days of age, however, different levels of blood glucose levels were obtained according to the age. Based on the observed data, the digestible threonine:lysine ratio of 65%, associate to 2,23% of glycine+serine in the diet is sufficient to meet the requirements of broilers between 1 to 18 days of age. The increase in digestible threonine:lysine ratio and addition of 0,4% of glycine in the diet not modified the blood glucose levels between 1 to 18 days of age.
