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.
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.
