The novel proteins coded for by the genes inserted in GMO poultry feeds are fully digested by poultry and are not found in chicken meat and eggs.

Dietary calcium is required for developing pullets and laying hens to supply adequate quantity and quality calcium for bone calcification, eggshell calcification and other physiological needs. It is important that an adequate quantity of calcium be available as well as adequate amounts of large particle size calcium.

Every year before the International Poultry Expo, scientists and producers from universities and companies worldwide come together for the International Poultry Scientific Forum. Highlights from this year’s forum include presentations on LED lighting for layers, evaluation of DDGS in layer rations, organic alternatives to synthetic methionine, calcium particle size for pullets, quality of egg yolks with oxycarotenoid supplementation and detection of Salmonella enteritidis in trachea tissue.
