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.
As members of the poultry community – we represent different global regions and different scenarios that control feeding and nutrition, and your experiences will be useful for every member in the community. We feel that knowledge shared on this platform will be useful to all in either improving operations, gaining on production or for taking corrective actions. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.

Pearson square method is a simple method for formulating feeds with two ingredients. It consists of
finding the ratio of the two ingredients and determining the amount needed to produce a given amount of feed. There is also an advanced level of three or more feed ingredients. -
Check your work
Ensure that the nutrient contents and requirements are expressed on the same basis
The middle value should be between the two values on the left side
Disregard any negative numbers on the right side
Double check your calculations

Calculate the percentage of each feed.
1. Add up the parts of both feeds
2. Divide each part by the sum of the parts
