Quality vs quantityQuality vs quantity. It’s an old debate, and which is the more important very much depends on your circumstances.

If you’re short of food, then you really start to think about volumes. I recently watched a documentary on survivors of child labour camps that included an interview with a man who, as a starving child, had found a pea. He cut it up into pieces to make it last as long as possible. No matter that it was old and dry, his plight was such that even this morsel was of extremely high value.

Times of plentyOf course, when there is plenty,

a found pea is unlikely to be treated with such reverence, even if it remains nutritious. Circumstances, although not entirely, greatly dictate the food that we will accept and want.

Research from the UK has shown that consumers are buying more Freedom Food — the RSPCA farm assurance scheme — indoor chicken, while lower welfare standard chicken is suff ering a downturn.

The research — carried out by Kantar Worldpanel for RSPCA Freedom Food — revealed growth and spend on Freedom Food indoor reared chicken is outstripping standard with a £55.2 million increase in consumer spending on Freedom Food-labelled chicken, from £16.4 million to £71.6 million over the 12 months to March.

Growth in the amount of Freedom Food chicken sold in supermarkets has also overtaken standard, up by over 15 million kilos, compared to standard’s decrease of 11 million.

Leigh Grant, Freedom Food’s chief executive, commented that the fi gures were absolute proof that chicken welfare was of

paramount importance to more people than ever before, and the fact that shoppers stood fi rm by animal welfare through some of the most diffi cult economic times only reinforced that it was an issue that was here to stay.

Of course, welfare is a matter of interpretation, but the labelling used by Freedom Food, would appear to resonate with a number of UK consumers. It conveys the message that a certain group of consumers wants to hear, and helps them in making a purchasing decision.

Consumer perceptionConsumer perception is important

for a variety of reasons and was touched on by Anthony Kleanthous at this year’s British Pig Executive (BPEX) Market Outlook event.

In examining the impact of pig production on the environment, he touched on whether rising living standards in developing countries have to result in greater meat consumption, asking whether consumption goes up because, once consumers in developing markets attain a certain income, they want to mimic the consumption habits of developed markets, or whether they consume more meat because it has become relatively cheaper, and so is no longer regarded a luxury.

As meat production and consumption increase, there are questions that arise in relation to sustainability, and the various approaches that can be taken to reduce meat’s impact. One suggestion is to eat less meat.

But is this a desirable or even viable option? Looking at the role of retailers, Kleanthous suggested that they could play a role in reducing portion sizes and taking meat up

market. Not only could they make foods with a low meat content irresistible, but could also foster consumers’ perceptions of meat as special. As perceptions change, consumers may be willing to eat less meat if seen as having more value.

Risks and limitationsBut is there not a risk for any

producer venturing into birds that are more expensive to produce and more expensive to sell to retailers, of losing out when the market, and retailers, turn to lower cost goods?

Perhaps not. The UK experience suggests consumers are prepared to pay more for a product they perceive to be of a higher value.

Based on FAO data, some estimates suggest that food production will have to double over the next 50 years and, of course, these arguments only come into play in those countries where income levels are suffi ciently high and food supplies suffi ciently plentiful, but over time, they may become increasingly relevant.

Producers will have some interesting options to consider, the production of less but higher margin products, or more product, but with lower margins. ◻

external markets, poultry health, genetics and sustainability, among others.

According to Turra, the objective of the merger is to strengthen the sector. This merger has been discussed for almost two years, even before last year’s major consolidation of the Brazilian broiler sector.

Before the merger, ABEF had 34 member companies and UBA 65. After the merger that number is 85, seeing that some companies belonged to both associations.

UK university scholarship addresses poultry sector skills gapA new student scholarship scheme by the UK’s Harper Adams University College in conjunction with the country’s poultry industry brings together employers who will support students by paying up to two years of fees for their higher education course and provide them with a paid position for their compulsory work placement year.

The initiative is expected to improve the flow of graduates into the sector, where there is currently a skills gap.

Coolair -The Most Reliable FansAs a working farmer, you don’t have a lot of free time on your hands. The last thing you need is another chore added to your list, especially something as time-consuming as fan maintenance and repairs.

Our goal is that you never have to. That’s why we build Coolair fans for the long run. They are finely-tuned, efficient machines built to endure. Coolair fans may look much the same as others, but look closer. Captured ball bearings extend the fan life seven times greater than the industry average. The precision-machined hub, fan belt and tensioner ensure extended belt life. Our American-made blades are thicker, increasing durability. Plus, our damper doors are rugged and streamlined, making them a more effective choice than any other shutter on the market.

Sure, you may be able to find a cheaper fan. And you may get a package deal that includes a fan. But unless you have a genuine Coolair fan, you better keep your toolbox and wallet handy.

Decade of growth ahead for global broiler industry

The global broiler industry will see a decade of growth, according to the latest report from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), published earlier this year.

FAPRI forecasts that, although a lower tariff related quota (TRQ) in Russia will reduce world trade in the short term, the market will expand by 1.3% annually to 2019 and reach 8.29 million metric tons (mmt). Broiler production over the period, FAPRI says, will grow by 1.8% to reach 79.36 mmt.

ImportsChina’s accession to the WTO makes

it a net broiler importer. By 2019 it is expected to be importing 418 thousand metric tons (tmt). Neighbouring Taiwan’s imports are expected to grow by 7.3% annually to reach 116 tmt.

Japan’s net imports of broiler meat are expected to grow by 0.2% per annum to 2019. Imports by South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines are also expected to grow in response to overall economic expansion in these markets.

The EU moved in 2007 from being a net exporter to a net importer and is forecast to remain in that position. Mexico will increase its imports by 2% per annum, meaning that by 2019 its total imports will reach 577 tmt.

ExportsBrazil’s net poultry exports increased by 14% in 2008 ,

as production rose by 5.7% and consumption increased by only 2.5%. Over the rest of the decade, net exports are

assumed to stay at around 3.4 mmt. Fiscal incentives and subsidies from local government continue to encourage large new investments in broiler production, FAPRI says.

For the period 2005-2009, Brazil accounted for 49.9% of world exports. By 2014-2018, this will fall to 44.8%.

The market share of broiler exports achieved by the US is expected to remain broadly stable over the coming years. Over the period 2005-2009, the US accounted for 41.7% of global exports. Between 2009 and 2013, this figure is expected to fall 39.4%, before returning to 41.7% in the 2014-2018 period.

From the major drop in exports in 2004, it takes six years for Thailand’s broiler sector to recover from the avian influenza crisis and reach the pre AI historical trend. Recovery is helped by a new TRQ from the EU, Russia’s ban on US broilers, expansion of integrated producers, productivity improvements, reduced processing cost, investment in production innovation, and a shift to higher-value cooked products. Thailand’s net exports will increase by 6.5% annually to reach 635 tmt in 2019.

Form the period 2005-2009, Thailand’s share of the global broiler export market stood at 4.8%. For 2009-2013, this is expected to reach 6.6%, climbing to 7.4% in 2014-2018.

The EU’s exports were further limited in 2008, but new AI outbreaks in 2007 changed the grouping from being a net exporter to a net importer. By 2019, net imports are expected to be 29 tmt.

There are several reasons for this change. These include aggressive promotion by low-cost exporters in those markets that had been the EU’s traditional export destinations and the introduction of a lower import quota by Russia. However, high feed costs, strict animal welfare rules and environmental regulations

have reduced the competitiveness of European producers.

AccessHowever, it is not simply demand that will affect trade,

changing market access is also playing a part. FAPRI points out that, under the North American Free

Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Mexico removed its global TRQ and its prohibitive out-quota rates.

The TRQ was removed in 2008. A safeguard agreement was reached with the US, whereby a TRQ for chicken leg quarters is imposed.

The product is duty free, but out-quota is charged at 98.8% duty. Strong domestic demand in Mexico is

expected to drive up net imports by 2% annually, to reach 577 tmt in 2019.

Taiwan, with its WTO accession, removed its quota and replaced it with a “tariff-only regime” in 2005. As a result, imports are projected to increase by 7.3% annually, reaching 116 tmt by 2019. A shift to differentiated local breeds, however, will sustain domestic production, which is forecast to grow by 1.5% each year.

Russia imposes a lower TRQ of 0.78 mmt over the next decade. Over the period considered by FAPRI, the quota for imports is binding. Domestic production is being encouraged by the government and is expected to grow by 3%, higher than the predicted 1.7% increase in consumption. ◻

Steady overall increases are forecast for production and international trade.

Imports are being driven by rising income levels, and also by a less restrictive environment for international trade.

The growth rate for Brazilian production and consumption, as well as for exports, will slow over the next decade.

Higher costs in have made European exports increasingly less competitive.

Exclusive WATT survey reveals nutrition trends

WATT PoultryUSA, Poultry International and Feed International magazines asked 164 industry people responsible for producing and using poultry feeds worldwide about their business outlook and key trends involving supply chain integrity, composition of rations, sustainability, investment and more. Here are key findings: ✷ Over half (51%) foresee slowly

improving sales and profits over the next 12 months.

✷ “Cost of grains” and “management of feeding programmes to achieve performance” were rated as the two most important concerns in all world regions.

✷ “Food safety and/or supply chain risk” was rated the third-highest concern by North American respondents but ranked lower in other world regions.

✷ Worldwide, 43% of respondents say that new or tighter audits are in place to ensure supply chain integrity, while at the same time

40% believe more needs to be done to guarantee the integrity of the supply chain.

✷ Fifty-six percent expect their use of alternative ingredients and enzymes to increase over the next three years.

✷ More than half (55%) have a written sustainability strategy which incorporates nutrition and/or feeding.

✷ Feed production volume and poultry and egg production are predicted to increase in 2010.

Survey participantsSurvey responses came from a

cross section of businesses including consulting nutritionists/veterinarians (20%), feed manufacturing (17%), broiler production (15%), egg production (15%), breeding/hatching operations (13%), turkey/duck production (4%), as well as manufacturers and distributors of feed additives and premixes and others.

Responses came from around the globe, including North America (33%), Asia (21%), Latin America (18%), Europe (9%), Africa (8%), Middle East (6%) and Asia Pacific (5%).

Business outlook for 2010The poultry nutrition sector’s

business outlook is optimistic worldwide. Fifty-one percent of respondents believe that there will be slowly improving sales and profits; 18% expect business conditions will improve significantly in the second half of 2010; and 23% say that business conditions (sales and profits) are good now. Only 8% expect negative or poor profitability due to economic conditions. This optimistic outlook is held in every world region.

There was less agreement about the importance of other challenges among respondents from the diff erent world regions. For example, “food safety and/or supply chain risk”

was rated the third-highest concern by North American respondents but ranked lower in other world regions. Latin American respondents, for instance, rated this challenge next-to-last in importance among 10 challenges.

Latin American respondents, at the same time, were out of sync with the rest of the world in their down-rating of “mycotoxins (and other antinutritional factors) in grains” as a concern. They rated this challenge No 8 in importance out of 10 challenges, while respondents worldwide ranked it fourth in importance.

North American respondents, meantime, ranked “availability/cost/quality of research to support decision-making” lower

in importance than respondents in other world regions. They ranked “research” as their sixth most important challenge, while worldwide it was ranked the third most important challenge.

Challenges of lesser importance

Two challenges were ranked less important by all world regions — “discontinuation/unavailability of antibiotics in feeds” and “environmental concerns and/or sustainability.”

Nonetheless, all but one of the 10 challenges was rated on average to be at least somewhat important. Based on the average ratings for each challenge, there is little variance between the most important (cost of

Supply chain integrityFollowing problems in the

contamination of feed ingredients in the supply chain in recent months and years, survey participants were asked about the state of supply chain integrity today.

Many companies have taken action to shore up the integrity of the supply chain, according to survey participants. Forty-three percent say that new or tighter audits and testing are in place today. Thirty-seven percent use fewer, or different, suppliers. Twenty-eight percent have altered formulations or products. Four percent have taken other actions.

These actions have resulted in costs and prices being up, according

to about 30% of the respondents. However, 31% indicated, “No change was needed because programmes were adequate.”

When asked about present-day integrity of the supply chain, responses were, in fact, mixed. Thirty-four percent of respondents said they are satisfied with the integrity of the supply chain, while 40% believe more needs to be done to guarantee the integrity of the supply chain.

Composition of rationsWorldwide there is an upward

trend in the use of alternative feed ingredients, including dried distillers grains solubles (DDGS), and enzymes, according to survey responses.

Fifty-six percent of respondents

expect their use of alternative feed ingredients to increase in the next three years. The same percentage of respondents said their companies’ use of enzymes will increase over the

Wheat strains to reduce phosphate pollution

Concerns about the environment, as well as a desire to grow and use feed more effi ciently, are the driving forces behind a new project to reduce diff use phosphate pollution by developing new improved wheat lines.

The partners behind this ground-breaking research include scientists at the UK’s University of Reading and the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB), the University of Nottingham and Harper Adams University College, who are collaborating with researchers from the University of Idaho in the US.

They are being supported by several allied industries, including Cargill, Sun Valley Foods, AB Agric Ltd, JSR Farms Ltd, Frank Wright, the British Poultry Council and the British Pig Executive (BPEX).

Gene mappingThe aim of the project is to

provide adapted germplasm and tools for marker-assisted breeding of Highly Available Phosphate (HAP) wheat that will have the potential to signifi cantly reduce diff use P pollution when used in pig and poultry diets.

The scientists are also hoping to determine the eff ect of P fertiliser

treatment on the P metabolism within the wheat plant and grain, as well as on the grain composition of other important nutrients and micronutrients.

Led by NIAB, the consortium has already initiated the production of wheat germplasm with low phytate content in the grain, thus increasing the bio-availability of phosphate to monogastric animals. This should, in turn, reduce the level of phosphates entering the environment from animal wastes.

A spokesman for the consortium

explained that they were mapping the genes involved in this process in an eff ort to learn more about the plant physiology underlying the changes in phytate content, together with related mineral nutrition.

The precise eff ect of changes in feed quality will be assessed through controlled pig and chicken feeding studies using the newly identifi ed low phytate lines.

Scope for improvementRecent data has shown that while

the addition of microbial-derived phytases to pig diets can help reduce P excretion by pigs, there is still scope to further reduce diff use P pollution from pig enterprises by using HAP wheat in the diets.

The major form in which phosphorous occurs in plants is myo-inositol -1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate, commonly referred to as phytic acid, inositol, or InsP6; it is an important antinutritional factor for farm animals

because of its ability to form a compound with micronutrients such as iron and zinc.

Microbial-derived phytase that can be added to the diet of pigs and poultry is produced on a commercial scale as part of the large feed enzyme market because the exogenous phytase provides an effective means of breaking down the phytate in plant-derived feeds, allowing the animals to use more P and other minerals and proteins, rather than excreting them.

Good precedentsBy using a careful balance of

nutrients combined with phytase (together with other measures), the livestock industry in the Netherlands has managed to halve the amount of P excreted by growing and finishing pigs over the past 20 years.

Taking the UK, which currently has some 500,000 sows, as an example, the consortium’s spokesman pointed out that wheat could constitute up to 60% of the country’s pig and poultry diets.

A variety of HAP wheat with similar performance characteristics to conventional wheat would ensure that the entire requirement in the diet of monogastrics was met without the need to add supplementary phosphate.

Ideally, it was hoped that the new HAP wheat could also be used in conjunction with commercially produced phytase to further reduce the release of P into the environment, since there was evidence to suggest that they could interact in a positive way.

Encouraging resultsIn fact, initial stages of this

research project have already revealed the expected potential reduction possible in diffuse P pollution from HAP wheat is in line with that demonstrated for HAP maize and barley. Pigs fed with the HAP maize reduced P excretion by

18% and by 16% when they were fed with HAP barley.

In collaboration with the University of Idaho, researchers at NIAB have already been successful in developing several new wheat lines in which phytic acid P represents only 42% of seed total P, compared with 74.7% of seed total P in the spring-sown control.

This has resulted in a significant increase (more than 35%) in the amount of phosphate that is available to a monogastric animal — and it is anticipated that this will lead to a major reduction in input costs

and the environmental impact.This research is considered to

be extremely important for some European pig and poultry farmers, because new Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) legislation and the European Union’s tough Water Framework Directive restricts them spreading muck on fields and threatens their size and viability which they have traditionally maintained by maximising the economies of scale. ◻

Egg producers examine social responsibility

As consumers around the world become more ethically aware, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming increasingly important. At the IEC Canada 2009 Conference, Professor Andrew John and Christian Stadil each addressed delegates and shared their experiences and expertise on this subject.

It is no longer suffi cient for organisations to simply tell their customers that they practice CSR; customers need to see the benefi ts that the organisation’s eff orts are making to the community.

CSR can take a number of forms, from pure corporate philanthropy, to operational CSR and corporate marketing (trying to change how people think and behave), right through to community volunteering.

Professor Andrew John specialises in CSR and has carried out numerous studies on the subject. He stressed to the IEC audience that it is no longer suffi cient to simply sign a cheque and donate it to a good cause; organisations must ensure that their CSR initiatives are carefully targeted and aligned to their overall strategic goals.

The benefits of CSRThere are two main reasons to

practice CSR; the fi rst being that it

is morally the right thing to do, the second that it is good for a business’s bottom line. In Professor John’s experience, these two reasons do not have to be exclusive.

When implemented strategically, CSR can bring many benefi ts to a business:

Professor John believes that organisations that ignore CSR do so at their peril: “There is now a lot of expectation for companies to behave in a socially responsible way.” A third of the population are now considered to be ethical consumers; as well as judging a product, they also judge the company and its behaviour.

In the past we have seen boycotts; people refusing to purchase certain products or brands because an organisation has been judged to act unethically. Recently, a new phenomenon has begun —

buycotts; people who are willing to pay more — and encourage others to do so — because a product or brand is considered ethical.

Effective CSRGood CSR initiatives will bring

benefi ts to communities, whether it is helping to feed people in poverty, supplying better working conditions for employees, or donating staff time to build and improve community facilities. However, if the business’s target audience, usually the customer, is unaware of these activities, it will not benefi t the organisation.

In Professor John’s experience, people judge an organisation on why it is carrying out CSR. “People don’t generally like it if a company is only doing CSR to boost its profi t; just to be seen to do good.” However, it is acceptable to do both, people accept that a business can profi t because it does good.

According to both Professor John,

and Stadil, the most effective CSR is relevant CSR. The initiative or project that a company chooses to become involved with should have some relevance to its actual product or industry.

Stadil stressed to the IEC audience that to be fully effective, as well as being credible to the consumer, the CSR initiative should also be carefully promoted, making the customer feel good about choosing that product, because they believe that it helps a wider cause.

He urged businesses to communicate modestly, but effectively and, where possible, to enlist a partner organisation to communicate the message. According to Stadil, using a partner company in this way helps to reinforce the facts, and tell customers what is being done, but it appears more modest.

Different cultures value different CSR initiatives

When considering how to implement a CSR initiative, it is critical to remember that what people

consider to be important varies from country to country, and continent to continent.

Professor John explained that, according to recent research, in the US and Europe, treating workers fairly is considered to be most important. In China, India and Russia, people believe that safe working conditions and high quality products are the top priority; while in Canada and Australia, the focus is on the environment.

Professor John and Stadil both encouraged IEC members to practice corporate social responsibility, but to ensure that the initiatives were carefully chosen, well aligned with the business’s overall strategic goals, and carefully communicated. ◻

SFR responds to growing demands on poultry feed

Schothorst Feed Research (SFR) can trace its history back over 75 years. Based in Lelystad, the Netherlands, the centre is undergoing a major investment to expand its facilities and the services it offers to clients.

While it is a given that demand for food, and consequently feed, will continue to rise, it is not simply volumes that are expected to grow. A better understanding of how ingredients work, and of alternative ingredients, is also increasing in importance.

SFR is an independent private company, owned by both private and cooperative feed companies and by a foundation established to stimulate research.

Its main areas of activity include the development of feed evaluation systems, raw material evaluation for various animal species, and the effect of feed technology on nutrient utilisation.

Alongside this, SFR also looks at the development of nutritional requirements of high production livestock, the relationships between feed quality and the quality of animal products and the effect of feed on animal health and gastro-intestinal disturbances.

Taking into account the growing environmental demands placed on agriculture, SFR also looks at the effect of feed on the environment and output of nitrogen, phosphorous and methane.

Additionally, SFR has experimental facilities to test the efficacy of feed additives and their effect on animal health.

Active across dairy, pigs and poultry the centre has 10 people working in quality management and 50 in research, and has made a number of predictions as to how the feed market will develop over the next couple of years.

Market trendsSFR notes that the major themes in the current market

are: competing demands from the feed, food and fuel industries; the availability of feedstuffs and by-products; increasing scarcity of starch; nutrition and the wellness of man and animals.

Research director Piet van der Aar comments: “We expect that demand for feedstuffs will become more important, and there will be ever-more emphasis on the co-products of other industries.”

He continues that as the energy component of feed determines the price of these co-products, their use is expected to become more important worldwide. It is not only this group of ingredients that will grow in importance, but also their processing — either technologically or enzymatically — to increase their energy value.

This forecast upturn in demand has been the driver for the ongoing investment programme at SFR.

InvestmentThis year, two new research farms, one for dairy cows

and one for laying hens, will come into operation. Both facilities will comply with the latest requirements for sustainable farming, allowing statistically relevant nutrition research to be carried out in on-farm conditions.

Additionally, SFR has plans for the extension and

Based in Lelystad, the Netherlands, SFR has been investing in new facilities to better respond to growing demand for feed ingredients, and especially use of co-products.

Comments from the March 2010 WATT Online Poultry Nutrition & Health Forum

I would like to thank WATT for organizing this excellent program for its audiences particularly at international level. This type of interaction is definitely of great help to both poultry industry and poultry research centers. Keep up the good work.

improvement of its pig facilities, which should be ready by 2012. In total, some Euro 9 million ($12.2 million) is being invested.

The new layer farm and research facilities will be unique, and comprise a commercial house equipped for research with two separate areas each with 40 different groups of 330 hens, to enable accurate statistical nutrition studies.

The new dairy cow facilities, with 220 lactating dairy cows, will result in a doubling of SFR’s dairy research capacity. In the plans for this facility, there is the possibility of an extension of up to 340 lactating cows.

Competing demandsSFR currently has contracts with the compounding

feed industry and suppliers in 14 countries, but calls on its expertise are expected to increase.

Dr van der Aar says: “While local feedstuffs may always be the preferred choice, we particularly foresee greater interest from regions that are feedstuff importing, for example Europe and Asia.”

SFR has developed feed additive formulation tables that can be used for the development of commercial feed formulations, and it also has methods to calculate the nutritional value of raw materials that can vary in composition and to measure other quality aspects of animal nutrition related to feed composition.

Dr van der Aar explains: “We have built a data file for the last 75 years. However, we have seen an increasing interest in evaluation of raw materials, and there are several reasons for this.

“Raw materials are not the same as they were in the past. This can be either due to genetic changes in the raw materials themselves, or due to changes in production processes. Products with the same name may not have the same nutritional value as they did 20 years ago. Because of

New facilities for laying hens will come into operation this year.

this, we see an increasing interest in feedstuff evaluation.” Over the last few years, SFR has introduced new energy

tables for sows, piglets, and laying hens, and these new tables are more targeted than their predecessors. The advantage of this is that more precise feeds can be made at lower ingredient cost.

While the economy in many parts of the world remains sluggish, offering value for money — and keeping an eye on costs — is central to many businesses and achieving value for money from inputs key.

And as demand for meat and feed rises, the pressure on producers to achieve the best possible results will increase in tandem, meaning that a proper understanding of each and every ingredient that goes into feed cannot be ignored.

“The understanding of raw materials has changed. We now know why some have positive effects and some negative effects. In the past we may have thought that some were bad, but now we understand limitations,” continues Dr van der Aar.

And as to the future?“If we look to the future, we will start to evaluate things in

new ways. For example, there will be more account of health and immunosuppression, and greater quantification of the relationship between the quality of raw materials and end products,” he adds. ◻

+ A ROSS BIRD ADDS UP +

Ross birds are at the top of their class when it comes to delivering the best financial returns on your investment. Do the maths and you’ll soon see that our emphasis on bird wellbeing, balance, liveability and great technical support really add up. When you need a balanced and consistent all-round performer, you can rely on Ross.

SFR’s new laying facilities are certified “Sustainable Livestock Production” and will be complete in October 2010 .

The facilities comprise two layer barns, each equipped with a Vencomatic aviary system, with 40 experimental units of 330 laying hens each. Together, the two barns can house 26,400 laying hens.

Feed intake and egg production (number and weight) can be measured automatically for each experimental unit, so egg production and feed conversion ratio can be calculated per experimental unit.

Additionally, a broad scale of additional measurements, including health, welfare, robustness, and feathering, can be carried out under on-farm conditions.

The facility has been designed to perform research into the best feed composition for

laying hens housed in a commercial aviary system where hens have optimal freedom to move.

It is equipped with several feed silos enabling the mixing of feeds for feedstuffs and concentrates per experimental unit.

In addition to research into feed composition and nutrient requirements, the performance of different layer breeds can be compared under on-farm conditions.

In the energy industry, there have been a lot of changes in the last ten years. Energy markets are complicated and, as a result, companies are re-thinking how they manage these expenses. Complex market factors affect risk and pricing, deregulation varies from state to state, carbon emissions are becoming an issue, and limited capital dollars are available for energy conservation projects.

Join Mike Moore, president & CEO of American Energy Solutions, as he discusses a practical approach to identifying and implementing a strategy that maximizes energy pricing alternatives and gaining the best return on invested capital dollars.
