All commercial poultry eat with reasonably good precision to balance nutrient intake with requirements. Short term, there can be some variation in feed intake related to local situations, but long-term, the mechanisms of feed intake regulation are quite precise. Matching nutrient needs with intake is an obvious inherent evolutionary necessity to ensure survival and reproduction. A bird’s dai ...

Interesting topic. What can be done to reduce it in laying hens. Been seeing more of it as well.

Interesting topic. With mash feeds it's the reverse. The heavier weights tend to be in the front of the house. I'm tinkering around with a small scale homemade crumbler to do experimenting and am looking for crumbler rollers, can anyone tell me where I could find some?entzgeorge20@gmail.com

@Akbar Yaghobfar This is quite opposite of expectations. Was it related to decreased feed intake, due to more energy available?

For those interested in a easy to use max profit/stochastic program based off excel or even a combination of both (Multiple Objective Feed Formulation) I would invite to visit this website.https://www.canadaanimalnutritionist.com

@Gene Pesti ,Some products out there are in liquid solution that is made of water, copper sulfate and citric acid. I'm not a chemist, but is that what is produced, Cupric citrate? And would you know the ratio of each?

Copper (Cu) is a vital element involved in cellular metabolism and enzyme systems. At levels greater than nutritional requirements, dietary Cu addition enhances growth performance as a growth promoter (Pesti and Bakalii, 1996). Copper dosing at levels up to 250 mg/kg feed has been shown to improve intestinal structure and function, and alter the intestinal microbiota profile (Di Giancamillo et al. ...

@Gene Pesti I want to say thank-you for this comment. I have seen in the field that when substituting Canola Meal at 5% for soymeal that it helped, and had concluded that it was due to the SAA. I didn't know however, that it's a 1:1 ratio of Methionine to CuS04.Thank-you again, and will look at the research paper you provided the link for.

Have you done studies on CH, when challenged with a cocci/NE model? What were the results compare to CuSO4?
