Poultry Nutrition

Nutrition is defined in a range of ways, but is frequently inadequately understood. It is a simple concept, yet encompasses much complexity. In recent years, advances in poultry production, introduction of new and alternative products, and the development of new dietary management approaches have made it possible to increase poultry performance. However, to realize this, there must be further focus on diet quality. Producing suitable poultry products requires knowing the factors affecting quality, then exercising management accordingly. This book presents cross-discipline studies covering many aspects, ranging from poultry production and nutrition to alternative feeding systems, with the aim of disseminating information suitable for improving poultry health and products quality. Moreover, the purpose of this book is also to provide information about feed quality and alternative ingredients testing that can be used to improve poultry performance and producers’ returns.
