I. INTRODUCTION Dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) is defined by the interrelationship between sodium (Na + ), potassium (K + ) and chloride (Cl - ) where DEB = Na ++ K + -Cl - as mEq/kg and it plays an influential role in homeostasis of the body fluids. Borges et al. (2004) investigated DEB in two experiments and concluded that there was a quadratic effect on weight gain and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) when the DEB was...

Abstract. The concept of a "feed enzyme matrix" has become widespread over the past 10 years. It is used to quantify the increase in nutrient utilization of a feed by the action of feed enzymes.The factors that change the matrix values of enzymes are given. Due to the impossibility of substantiating stable values of matrices, in official instructions the values of matrices are virtual, therefore, they are not subject to control. In the instructions for the use of enzyme preparations approved...

Hello. My name is Edmore Bumhira, a student at Chinhoyi University of Technology in Zimbabwe. I am doing a MPhil in Animal nutrition. Here in Zimbabwe we are still backwards in terms of methods used to formulate animal feeds. Are there easier modern methods of formulating broiler feeds? May you share them with me? ...

Introduction: Due to the constant genetic evolution in both the production of broilers, nutritionists must constantly adapt their nutritional recommendations and feeding programs to maximize economic results at all times. These management and nutrition decisions must take into account: the animal (potential for growth), environmental conditions and the composition of the feed, which affect feed consumption and, consequently, the performance of birds. And economic...

In feed formulation, Six Sigma methodology helps achieve high-quality standards by minimizing variability. Applying it to ingredients like maize and soybean meal allows us to control nutrient content precisely, ensuring consistency in feed quality. A bell curve (normal distribution) visually represents the variability in a nutrient (like crude protein, CP) and helps identify a target range that can maximize feed efficiency while minimizing risks of nutrient excess or deficiency. #...

I. INTRODUCTION The meat chicken industry is growing rapidly as a result of an increasing population, relatively low production costs and excellent marketability with regards to affordability, sustainability and minimal religious restrictions. Poultry diets with lower crude protein (CP) have generated global interest from the meat chicken industry due to the benefits concluded by published literature. Low protein (LP) diets have been identified to lower feed costs, improve feed...
