Nutrient requirements of broilers: an overview of factors affecting feed formulation

Code: 9781835452301
Gonzalo G. Mateos, Guillermo Talegón, Lewis Aguirre, Nereida L. Corrales, and Rosa Lázaro, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain

Chapter synopsis:

The information available on the nutrient requirements of broilers to maximize production or economics returns, is abundant but the data are often inconsistent because of factors such as the methodology used to estimate bird requirements and the differences in the nutritional value attributed to each ingredient. This chapter reviews some of the key factors affecting feed formulation, recent trends and current feed programs as well as options for improvement.
