Layer persistency is protected before production begins to decline
Late-cycle egg output is not determined by the late-lay diet alone. It reflects decisions made during pullet development, sexual maturity, peak production and every transition between them.

Fermented corn protein for poultry diets
This emerging corn coproduct can supply concentrated protein, energy and yeast components, but its name reveals less than its analysis.

Integrated poultry nutrition is working-capital management
Feed formulation decisions influence how much capital enters each flock and how quickly the production system converts it into revenue.

Why probiotics do not always deliver consistent results
Probiotics may not always deliver consistent results because we ask them to behave like non-living additives in systems that are anything but uniform.

Can coarser sorghum support broiler performance while lowering costs?
A recent study finds modern US grain sorghum supports broiler performance, gizzard development, improved ingredient flowability and created opportunities to reduce grinding costs through the use of coarser particle sizes.

Feed transitions a hidden source of poultry performance variability
The formula may change on schedule, but bin inventories, deliveries, feed form and farm practices determine when birds actually receive the next diet.

Calcium source solubility for laying hens
Calcium concentration tells how much enters the feed. Solubility and particle size help determine when that calcium becomes available during eggshell formation.

Fixed feeding phases may be costing broiler integrators money
Calendar-based feed changes simplify operations, but they do not always deliver nutrients at the biological point when broilers need them.

When should a poultry company independently review its nutrition program?
An external review is most valuable before performance collapses — when costs, specifications, additives and operating practices have gradually stopped working as one system.

When FCR is the wrong performance metric for a poultry integrator
Feed conversion measures biological efficiency, but it does not necessarily identify the flock producing the greatest quantity or value of saleable poultry meat.

Feed phosphates should be priced by digestible phosphorus
The phosphorus contribution of a feed ingredient depends on its origin, its availability to the bird and what the rest of the diet allows the bird to use.
