Ingredient Quality Assessment for Old and New Ingredients
Chairs: Douglas R. Korver & Roselina Angel
Monday, July 20, 2020 at 12:00 PM CST
Accurate feed ingredient evaluation is essential for precise formulation of poultry diets. However, many challenges remain in the process of transforming raw ingredients into a complete feed that meets the needs of modern poultry. Variation in nutrient content, effects of processing on nutrient content and the incorporation of novel or poorly characterized ingredients add to the challenges. The symposium will provide practical information on feed evaluation in poultry nutrition, as well as the opportunities and challenges associated with novel feed ingredients for the poultry industry. The speakers in the second session will also devote attention to the process of evaluating the novel feedstuffs as potential ingredients in poultry diets.
