a snippet from the last article linked has something relevant about 'balanced rations' for chickens:
"these suggested intakes were determined using “nitrogen-balanced” studies, which represent, says Patel, “the minimum protein we need to prevent malnutrition”. But preventing malnutrition, she argues, “is a whole different ballgame from thrive mode”
In the chickens' case, it's about producing eggs or growing fast, but in neither case is it formulated for the bird to thrive.
