“Artificial” Enzymes and Poultry feeding

Enzymes in Poultry Nutrition

The biggest single expense in any system of poultry production is feed accounting for up to 70% of total production cost per bird. Poultry naturally produces enzymes to aid the digestion of feed nutrients. However, they do not have enzyme to break down fibre completely and need exogenous enzymes in feed to aid digestion. This review covers the information on enzymes and their uses in poultry nu...

Artificial Insemination in Poultry

Artificial insemination is practiced extensively with commercial turkeys. This is primarily the result of selective breeding for a heavier and broader-breasted commercial turkey and the consequent inability of toms to consistently transfer semen to the hen at copulation. The broiler industry has not adapted AI to the extent of the turkey industry but it is occasionally used in pedigree lines an...

Feeding Poultry Litter to Ruminants

Experiments were conducted to assess the feasibility of recycling poultry litter in the diets of young calves. Weaning rations containing 30% ensiled or unprocessed poultry litter gave unsatisfactory growth when fed to calves from two to twelve weeks of age. However, when these twelve week old calves were fed rations containing 30% or 50% poultry litter and sorghum, the costs/kg. gain were 19.5...
