Sustainable feed to optimize layers’ productive life
This is a highly beneficial project which will reduce the carbon footprint, reduce feed cost, and promote layer life. This will be done by replacing soybean meal (SBM) with combination of canola meal (CM) and insect meal (BSFL: black soldier fly larvae).
Optimising reduced-protein diets for an efficient and sustainable layer production
This project addresses the knowledge gap of the optimisation of reduced protein diets, by exploring the
effects of dietary enzyme inclusion on the production performance of laying hens fed reduced-protein
diets.Energy requirements of imported layer strains
This study aims to determine the required energy intake of layer hen strain in terms of dietary energy concentration, feed intake, egg output, body weight and body fat content, in order to design diets that are nutrition and cost effective.
The net energy values of the Australian feed ingredients for poultry
This publication contains data on the net energy values of some cereal grains and vegetable protein sources that are commonly used in the Australian poultry broiler and layer industries.
Canola meal and Cottonseed meal in broiler and layer diets
This proposes that the Australian egg and poultry industry to incorporate canola and cottonseed meal in poultry diets.Canola and cottonseed meal is proven to be both economical and high in protein.
Effects of commercial feed enzymes in wheat-based diets on egg and egg shell quality in imported strains of laying hen
At the time of commencement of this project, very little research had been conducted into feeding layer hens and results were not consistent among studies of the benefits of adding commercial feed enzyme preparations to the diets of laying hens.
Nutritional value of pearl millet as poultry feed
Due to the prediction that Australia will have to import significant quantities of feed grains which will inevitably lead to higher prices, it is essential that research be undertaken to find alternative feed sources for livestock, especially poultry, to reduce the increased cost of feeds and maintain an internationally competitive…
