Importance of Precision Nutrition in Poultry
Precision nutrition focuses on meeting the daily nutrient requirements of livestock, particularly broiler chickens, throughout their rapid growth cycle of 35 to 42 days. Typically, chickens are fed through multiple diet stages, but there is a risk of both under-supply and over-supply of nutrients during these periods. The goal of precision nutrition is to minimize these discrepancies to ensure optimal growth and health. By maintaining accurate nutrient intake, producers can improve efficiency and reduce waste in feed management.
