…(SBM), 2) soybean meal + a 50% poultry by-product meal and 50% poultry feather meal blend (PBM), or 3) soybean meal + porcine meat and bone meal (MBM). From d…
The inclusion of feed-grade amino acids in diet formulation has allowed nutritionists to formulate diets more economically to enhance the efficiency of growth and reproduction in commercial poultry production. Diets…
Net energy (NE) in poultry is regarded as a more precise energy system compared to conventional apparent metabolizable energy (AME) due to its ability to consider the energy lost as…
Uric acid is the primary source of N in the poultry litter, which is converted to urea and hydrolyzed into NH3 in the litter environment. Ammonia is partitioned into solid,…
Soybean meal (SBM) is a widespread constituent of poultry diets internationally. However, variations in agronomic conditions, cultivar variety, and processing techniques can alter digestible lysine, methionine, threonine, and nitrogen-corrected true…
When I was asked if I would speak about future nutritional trends effecting the poultry industry, I thought “WOW, I don’t have a crystal ball”. Anyways, I have been around…
The National Academies of Science’s National Research Council (NRC, now NASEM) Nutrient Requirements reports have periodically been published since 1940s, and are updated occasionally. The 2024 poultry report builds on…
The branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), including leucine (Leu), valine (Val), and isoleucine (Ile), are indispensable amino acids with similar structures, and impact poultry growth, intestinal health, and immunity. In general,…
…value of SBM and its nutrient composition, SBM value was quantified in both poultry and swine diets using the nutritional attributes (digestible amino acids and energy) that are the primary…
…in Cobb 500 broilers. The NE formulation in poultry may provide better accuracy in terms of energy values of ingredients. In NE equations, heat increment is utilized, and thus positive…
