What is pain perception of fish?

Hello there.
In practical sense, analyzing amino acid profile in raw materials is important- because animals do not necessarily have a requirement for “Crude Protein”, instead, they have a requirement for specific amino acids. Providing an accurate nutrient amino acid profile can help nutritionists formulate feeds that provide the closest to the requirement of the animal, avoiding excess amino acids in the feeds. This could translate to reduced feed cost, better feed quality, less ammonia production (sustainable and environmentally sound), and better animal performance.
In meat- I am not sure, but in practice, we do regular weighing to monitor that feed intake is translated to gain in weight and that includes utilization of said amino acids.

Egg stains occur because the proteins and fats in the egg coagulate and bind to fabric fibers.

Broiler management focuses on rapid growth for meat production, requiring high-protein feed, ample space, and constant lighting to maximize weight gain.
Layer management prioritizes extended egg production, needing calcium-rich feed, longer lifespans, and specific housing with nesting areas to produce eggs over several months to years.

Determining the birds’ capacity for efficient feed conversion, nutrient utilization, and muscle or egg development.

Reducing feed intake, growth, and egg production, while increasing mortality and suppressing the immune system, leading to more disease.

To prevent diseases from poultry, practice rigorous hygiene, including frequent hand washing with soap and water, and wear dedicated shoes and clothing when working with birds.

Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) measures the less digestible fiber components (cellulose, lignin, silica), indicating digestibility and energy content (higher ADF = lower digestibility/energy). Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) measures the total cell wall fiber (ADF + hemicellulose), relating to feed intake and gut fill (higher NDF = lower intake.

Ensure optimal conditions through proper housing, nutrition, ventilation, and sanitation, while also implementing effective biosecurity and health management programs.

Freeze-drying at lower temperatures is a highly effective alternative to conventional drying for preserving feed.

Agree to this. Ultimately, optimized “homogenous mixing” has so many variables that it is important to check for CV. There are two methods that has been adapted in my practice, and it is important to understand how feed density, flowability, mixing sequence, liquid spraying feeds, -even sampling affect homogeneity. CHECK CV first, then you can adjust based on how trend moves on weither you can increase mixing time or decrease mixing time.

Thank you for this Dr. Kim.

Very informative. Thank you.
