The latest techniques to optimize soy inclusion in animal feed include using AI-driven systems for precise formulation, the fermentation of soybean meal to reduce antinutrients, and adding exogenous enzymes like proteases and phytases to improve nutrient digestibility. Additionally, new methods are exploring multiobjective optimization that consider both cost and environmental impact, as well as genetic modification of soybeans to enhance their nutritional profile for animal feed.

Effective, practical methods for reducing energy consumption in feed milling include optimizing grinding and pelleting processes through equipment upgrades and advanced controls, adjusting pellet size and hardness, using additives, and implementing energy-saving maintenance. For grinding, finer particle sizes require more energy, so optimizing screen and die sizes can help lower consumption per ton. For pelleting, adjusting the die design, improving moisture content control, and using additives like esterified surfactants can reduce friction and energy draw.

Vibration analysis is highly effective for identifying issues in rotating parts like those in pellet mills and mixers, while thermal imaging helps detect overheating in electrical components and worn mechanical parts. Other effective methods include motor circuit analysis and oil analysis to monitor for early signs of failure and optimize performance.

What a good question!
A new finding can influence brooding by adjusting feed formulation and lighting programs to optimize the chicks’ gut, immune, and skeletal development, which can also improve welfare and performance. This may involve using specific light wavelengths and intensities to stimulate early activity for feed and water intake, as well as establishing a structured lighting schedule with dark periods from day one to promote a healthy stress response, leg health, and growth. Feed formulation should be adjusted to meet the nutritional demands of this new program and to ensure the chicks receive adequate energy and protein for their growth and development.

It varies with geographical position and depends on age and purpose, but key vaccines include Marek’s (day 1), ND + IB (5–7 days), IBD (10–14 days), ND Clone (Day 16-18).

Optimal Water Temperature- Birds prefer water that’s slightly cooler than their body temperature. Drinking cold water helps with heat dissipation and body temperature regulation. High water temperatures can lead to reduced feed intake, while cold water can increase consumption

Thanks for the insight

Improved nutrient digestibility, break down complex molecules into simpler nutrients

How does water temperature affect feed intake and digestion in birds?

Exactly they weaken the defense organs .
