We focus a lot on improving the feeding of animals through the various stages of production.\u00a0 It\u2019s not hard to see why \u2013 the costs of feeding animals that produce meat, milk, and eggs are 70% or more of the total costs of production, while the nutrients and energy delivered by the feed<\/a> affect the productivity of the animals.<\/p>\n

But, what about before birth?\u00a0 How important is delivering nutrients at this stage \u2013 intuitively, we all know that this is important.\u00a0 Chicks (or pre-chicks) in an egg, or embryos in a cow or pig, must be nourished to develop.\u00a0 In an egg, the yolk of the egg provides nutrients to developing birds.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of those important things we can\u2019t see or easily measure.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting, then, that a review of published data from the last 88 years has indicated that the quantity of the egg yolk, the very thing supplying nutrients to newborn chicks, has been declining<\/a> (see original article here<\/a>).\u00a0 This indicates that it may be time to think more about feeding strategies for broiler breeders \u2013 the egg suppliers.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve discussed a few times on the blog the importance of omega-3 fatty acids, in particular from flax seeds (also known as linseed; see here<\/a> and here<\/a>).\u00a0 High-shear dry extrusion and mechanical oil pressing of flax seeds can be performed to create high-quality meals and oil for broiler breeders and other animals as well.<\/p>\n

Indeed<\/a>, the chicks from broiler breeders receiving diets with high-shear dry extruded flax seed products exhibited greater breast meat yield, and pullets fed the same product had stronger skeletons when entering the egg laying phase.\u00a0 This indicates strongly that the nutrients in egg yolks are limiting the performance of birds following birth.<\/p>\n

All of this points to biological gains still to be realized in the poultry world.\u00a0 We need to pay attention to nutrition in the broiler breeder phase as well as later.\u00a0 Still much to be discovered!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
