ENERGY IS GOING TO BE THE KEY DRIVER OF POULTRY/LIVESTOCK BUSINESS IN THE UPCOMING DECADE!
Profitability was driven by volatility in protein ingredient prices for a very long time, however that is going to change. Energy is the primary necessity for fast growing birds like broilers as well as long living production birds like layers & breeders. Efficient energy throughput affects feed cost which is a major part of input cost and therefore determines profitability
