Managing poultry house odors with feed additives

摘要

Fortifying poultry feeds with phytogenies improves digestibility, aids performance and can reduce odor emissions from the poultry house.Odor emissions from poultry houses have become a limiting factor in building or expanding facilities in some parts of the world, and facilities run the risk of incurring high costs related to environmental degradation.While odor control often seeks to reduce the impact of emissions in the environment, improving a bird's gut health can help minimize the cause of odor at its source.Supplementation of poultry diets with phytogenies or other feed additives offers a relatively new approach to odor management, reducing emissions through improved digestibility and feed efficiency.
