Sustainable feed to optimise 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
Research by the University of New England, funded by Australian Eggs, explored how to improve reduced protein diets for laying hens. The aim was to make egg production more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Despite decades of research, challenges remain in optimising reduced-protein diets.
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.
