Rethinking EU animal production business model

Among the many products and services presented at EuroTier, some of which gave me excellent insight on the future of the nutrition business, I noticed something of a paradox.

New developments in layer hen feeding

A single diet offered during the early hours of the light period with some source of calcium top-dresses during the afternoon is the standard feeding program for layers worldwide. A new method has been proposed that adapts the normal behavior of the hen to the requirements of modern farming.

Broiler wet litter solutions through feed formulation

Broilers and wet litter are a perennial problem that will not go away as long as we raise broilers the way we do now — on litter. Apart from the common causes due to disease, ventilation and watering problems, nutrition has a role to play.
