Lowering poultry feed formulation costs with phytogenies

摘要

Formulating poultry diets with phytogenies can lower costs for feed producers without sacrificing feed performance. For decades, broiler producers have tended to use high-density diets to feed their stocks and seek the highest possible profitability.But, with increasing feed prices, the entire production process is searching for alternatives to conventional feeding programs based on high-nutrient poultry diets to increase profitability. With conventional nutrition, producers tend to make use of least-cost feed formulations, which have served for a long time as powerful solutions to optimize high feed prices. But, formulating broiler diets by the least-cost tool is not as easy as in ruminants because of the differences in the availability of raw materials for poultry and ruminants.
