Rye in poultry feed has both positive and negative effects<div>
</div><div>*Positive effects:*</div><div>- *Gizzard health*: Rye is high in dietary fiber, which promotes gizzard health.</div><div>- *Laying intensity and egg weight*: Rye can boost laying intensity and egg weight in laying hens.</div><div>- *Feed costs*: Rye is a low-input, high-output cereal, requiring less nitrogen and pesticides, which offers a lower production cost.</div><div>- *Animal welfare*: Rye provides high straw yields, which can act as a novel stimulus and increase animal welfare.</div><div>
</div><div>*Negative effects:*</div><div>- *Nutrient digestion*: Rye contains non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs), mainly arabinoxylans, which can interfere with nutrient digestion, especially for monogastric animals like poultry.</div><div>- *Wet and sticky droppings*: The high NSP content in rye can cause wet and sticky droppings, leading to ammonia production and litter moisture issues.</div><div>- *Ergot toxicity*: Rye is susceptible to ergot, a fungus that can produce toxic alkaloids harmful to poultry.</div><div>
</div><div>To optimize the benefits of rye in poultry feed, it’s essential to:</div><div>
</div><div>- Use rye in moderation (e.g., up to 40% of the diet for laying hens).</div><div>- Add enzymes like xylanase to break down NSPs and improve nutrient digestion.</div><div>- Ensure proper processing and storage to minimize ergot toxicity risks.</div><div>- Balance the diet with other ingredients to meet poultry nutritional needs.</div>

What special function does Rye serves in the poultry feed? Does it have any specific nutrients addition to the overall feed quality?

Reduce every other heat source to it minimal, and also, some litters increases in house temperature as well, so research on an alternative to reduce temperature. Try to make the birds more comfortable without any stress or noise during the summer
