CAN GENETICS BE HELPFUL TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION IN THIS MATTER? I mean ,through genetics,genetic engineering , can bird’s physiology be improved to produce more endogenous enzymes to digest,metabolize,and assimilate these nutrients better by bird itself? Reducing its dependency on exogenous enzymes.
