There are two lysine sources available to nutritionists: L-lysine HCl and L-lysine sulfate.Brand InsightsCorrectly managing layer nutrition and weight is essential part of achieving correct egg sizeA lot of people will reasonably connect egg size with hen age; older hens lay bigger eggs. This is true, but there are numerous other influencing factors. Egg production management practices can also impact the size of an egg, with body weight and nutrition having the greatest influence.Brand InsightsComparison of DL-Methionine and MHA-FA on nutritive value and potential pathogen inhibition activityOver the last couple of decades, resources have been utilized to determine the comparative nutritional efficacy of methionine hydroxy analogue free acid (MHA-FA) to its dry counterpart, DL-methionine (DL-Met). During this time, a multitude of research studies have evaluated sources of methionine and effectively raised DL-Met to be the “gold standard” source for its 100% availability.Brand Insights4 ways managing gut health and nutrition can reduce the incidence of dirty eggsManagement of nutrition and gut health is essential in achieving clean eggshells. Feed stuff selection in particular is vital. For instance, it is crucial producers are aware of any anti-nutritional factors, toxins or contaminants contained in feed that can lead to nutritional imbalances, intestinal diseases and reduced overall bird health.Brand InsightsFeeding DDGS to layers - Six nutritional aspects to considerGood-quality Distillers' Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) are high in energy and amino acid content and free of anti-nutritional factors such as mycotoxins and can support good egg production and egg quality. With inclusion rates of 3 to 5% for pullets and rates of up to 15% for layers, DDGS is widely recognized as an excellent feedstuff.Brand InsightsBoosting egg production through optimized feedingThe key to successful nutrition in poultry is about more than offering nutrients to meet requirements for maximum performance. Effective nutrition embraces a range of issues including raw materials, feed additives and ideal bacterial ecology.Brand InsightsFeed processing: Some like it hot!One of the core processes in compound feed production for feed mill operators is pelleting. As well as increasing bulk density it also stabilizes the mixture. This delivers a uniform particle size, which improves storage and handling properties and lowers transportation costs.Brand InsightsFive things you need to know about Precision Livestock FarmingDigital services and solutions are changing the way we live and work, and livestock production is no different. Here are five things you should know about Precision Livestock Farming (PLF)Brand InsightsWhat does ‘big data’ have to do with food production?‘Big data’ has been making headlines for some time now, but it’s not always clear how and why it impacts the industry, even if you know what it is.Brand InsightsAlgorithms, poultry and human experience: an unlikely sounding but effective combinationCombining science-based expertise with intelligent software algorithms and consistent connectivity, it is possible to interlink previously disconnected areas of the production process.Brand InsightsTurning potential into productivityContinuous collection and analysis of large volumes of farm data and biostatistics allows producers to get a much better grip on their systems and identify any weak spots.Page 1 of 1
