@Kevin Stickney In theory, yes. You could offer feed and oyster shell, etc., and they would balance their nutrient needs. The practical issue is that birds invariably take too much oyster shell because of its novel texture. We see this in small flocks where a calcium feeder is set up. Birds consume 8-10g/d of oyster shell and then soft shelled eggs appear because of an induced P deficiency. You could give two diets, High and Low in Ca, and they would balance themselves, but that becomes a...

I think that we should look after: 1. Substrate Analysis: Verify substrate levels (e.g., phytate, NSPs) in diets before applying enzymes. 2. Context-Specific Ranges: Define ME ranges based on enzyme type, substrate, and bird age (e.g., 80–100 kcal/kg for xylanase in wheat-based broiler diets). 3. Dynamic Formulation: Use matrix values as a starting point, but adjust formulations based on: - Feed processing conditions (e.g., pelleting temperature). - Bird...

Quite correct in your opinions. Also, adding more than one enzyme at a type can muddy the water on value. People can freeze on the bulk ingredients not knowing which substrate is benefiting from the enzymes and miss beneficial changes on the feed costs....

Elaborate set of discussion above. I have experienced first hand the unwillingness of any producer/feed miller in disclosing the current set of ingredients in use. There is always much ambiguity regarding the raw materials used, unless of course you are a consultant. The bridge to value proposition and value addition is enzymes and their specific use after determining its substrate. However either ingredients are not disclosed of the analysis thereof, making the recommendation of enzymes...

Introduction Over the last two decades the U.S. fuel ethanol industry grew exponentially. Now, large quantities of ethanol coproducts, are commonly available as feedstuffs for livestock both in the USA and in international markets. As described elsewhere, ethanol coproducts are added to livestock diets (both ruminants and monogastrics) primarily as sources of protein and energy, but other nutrients also, including spent yeast cells. Energy is provided by fat, fermentable fiber, and...

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 daily consumption of feed ultimately governs its health, growth, body composition and potential for...
