Animal Nutrition Views
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.
Brand Insights
Optimized phytase dosing: unlocking more value from feed phytate
IFF Animal Nutrition & Health
Learn how optimized phytase dosing with Axtra® PHY GOLD can improve nutrient release, reduce feed costs and maximize feed phytate value in poultry and swine diets.
Feed Ingredient Insights
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.
Animal Nutrition Views
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.
Poultry
Laying hen bone strength relies on pullet nutrition choices
Decisions made in the rearing barn shape skeletal health and eggshell quality through the end of a long laying cycle.
Animal Nutrition Views
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.
Animal Nutrition Views
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 Ingredient Insights
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.

Application for FDA approval of hemp ruminant feed expected this year
The Hemp Feed Coalition has launched a research webinar series to promote the ingredient and raise funds for future ingredient applications.
Animal Nutrition Views
The hidden cost of an overcomplicated feed additive portfolio
Poultry companies regularly evaluate new additives, but rarely review whether the products accumulated over time still create measurable value together.
Feed Ingredient Insights
Choline chloride quality begins with the carrier
Choline chloride is nutritionally important in poultry feeds, but concentration, carrier quality, storage behavior and dosing accuracy determine how much reaches the bird.
Animal Nutrition Views
When least-cost feed becomes highest-cost production
Reducing feed cost per ton creates little value when the resulting diet increases feed conversion, growing time, flock variation or processing losses.
Poultry
Postbiotic-essential oil blend could aid broiler gut health
Peer-reviewed study found the combination supported improved gut health and performance in broilers.
