Luc Goethals,we had similar experience, in experimental farms it is quite common that negative control group doesn´t show a significant difference to trial and positive control, however it doesn´t mean that the choline (doesn´t matter if synthetic or vegetal source) is not needed in farm animal diets. This is the reason why we always perform trials under different conditions and ...

It's experimentally not easy to determine which share of the added chemical choline you can replace by natural sources. We have ran several experiments at European Universities and Research Institutes and the outcome was very inconsistent. The problem is that one has to work with choline deficient control diets, if not, few will be seen. In our trials with a normal control group (no added chemic ...

It looks indeed like inconsistency is the critical concern with probiotic type additives proposed as AGP alternatives, since many producers of Bacterial type products do communicate intensively on that issue. Related to the field experiments at the French poultry producer organization, we wonder if presenting the individual results at the three farms and the four individual cycles would not have ...

I guess there is a mistake in calculation on the broiler efficiency index.441.2 - 406.9 = 34.3 pts instead of 61.5 ? Could your share the detailed trial protocol and the way this efficiency index was calculated

Dear Mrs. Wong,
Thanks for the clarification, but in such scenario it's difficult or even impossible to draw conclusion about the differences in survival rate with or less than 1%. Since probably the exact initial number of chick per house were unknown. Anyway there was not really a difference.

Could you please document how the survival rate has been calculated or drawn down from the observations and basic dataset ? Since it's over 100%. Thanks.
