Group Description
As we know, poultry production systems are continually evolving. One of the primary causes that determines feeding and nutrition is the improvement made in the genetic potential of poultry birds ( both broilers and layers) and this is done to harness the best potential in the shortest period and with best efficiencies. There are many other factors that have a bearing on feeding and nutrition and some of them are driven by consumers, societal needs, and to cater to the production of specialized poultry products. In some cases, feeding and nutritional may also be determined by government regulations, cost of production, access to desired raw materials and other environmental concerns.
