Description:

Poultry nutrition faces many challenges, including the need to meet the changing requirements of growing birds while also avoiding over-nutrition and nutrient losses, which can be both environmentally and economically damaging. With the sector facing increasing pressure to reduce its reliance on antibiotics, a greater understanding of the poultry gut, its function, and its role in optimizing overall bird health is required.

Advances in Poultry Nutrition provides a detailed overview of the physiology of feed intake in broiler production, focusing on recent advances in nutrient requirements, poultry digestive physiology, and the genetic factors that can affect feed conversion efficiency in broilers. The collection also reviews the nutritional value of poultry feed and the range of in vivo and in vitro techniques used to measure factors that can influence its value, such as feed digestibility and metabolizable energy.
