2022 Informal Nutrition Symposium: Understanding and meeting nutrient

requirements of poultry.

This webinar on the Informal Nutrition Symposium: Understanding and

meeting nutrient requirements of poultry state that effectively and efficiently
meeting the nutrient requirements remains a primary concern of poultry nutritionist.
Understandings the actual nutrient requirements of birds, the ability to utilize the
nutrient within the diet, and the delivering of those nutrients in a form that can
effectively be utilized to support optimum economic returns that will allow the
industry to more effectively meet those challenges. This symposium will give the
real world industry context to nutritionists and researchers, and set the stage for new
sources of poultry nutrient requirement data and effective use of that data.

The following are the Panelists,

Kirk C. Klasing, from University of California-Davis and Peter R. Ferket from NC

State University and the tile of presentation is Historical and future approaches to
estimating nutrient requirement in poultry.

Rog Gous from University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa and the title of his
presentation is Optimization: Formulating to meet the objectives of the business.

The concept of poultry nutrition has had a rich and fruitful history, utilizing
available feed ingredients and state-of-art feed manufacturing technology to supply
nutrients for optimum productivity as poultry genetic potential progresses. The
future of poultry nutrition will continue to progress to improve production
efficiency, but also to address food safety, environmental stewardship, and animal
welfare concerns. Feed science has always been an integral part of poultry nutrition
as the dietary inclusion of new ingredients was incorporated into an acceptable feed
form. Pellet processing of poultry feed has become a standard practice, mainly to
improve feed handling properties and feed utilization by the birds. Feed conversion
improves when pellet quality improves.

In the future, there will be more research done on cost-effective means to

improve pellet quality for poultry. New methods of conditioning feed to improve
pellet quality will become essential, especially when feed safety is also considered.
Poultry have also figured prominently in feed research as test animals. Today there
is good knowledge on feeding of commercial poultry to optimize performance
characteristics and also the health and welfare of the birds. However, changes in
genetic performance of birds, new vaccination and health requirements and changes
in management procedures may have implications for vitamin supply in the future.
There will thus be a continuing need for trials using new methods of biochemical
and physiological evaluation under practical situations. Further progress at the field
of vitamins in modern poultry production requires more interdisciplinary research,
both nationally and internationally.
