Importance of Poultry feed ingredients
Poultry feed ingredients are important because they provide the nutrients that birds need for their health, growth, and reproduction. The ingredients should be carefully selected and blended to create a balanced diet that meets the specific nutritional needs of the birds, which vary depending on their age and species.
Poultry feed diet is composed of a mixture of grains, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals to provide energy and nutrients for growth, reproduction and health to the birds and animals. Key feed ingredients include corn, soybean meal and animal by-products such as fish meal, MBM as sources of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids and fats.
Feed ingredients for poultry diets are selected for the nutrients they can provide, the absence of anti-nutritional or toxic factors, their palatability or effect on voluntary feed intake, and their cost. The key nutrients that need to be supplied by the dietary ingredients are amino acids contained in proteins, vitamins and minerals. All life functions also require energy, obtained from starches, lipids and proteins.
The dominant feed grain is corn, although different grains are used in various countries and regions of the world. For instance, in the US, Brazil and most Asian countries corn is by far the most important energy source for all poultry feed. The amounts and types of cereal grains included in poultry diets will depend largely on their current cost relative to their nutritive values. One should take care to avoid making large changes to the cereal component of diets as sudden changes can cause digestive upsets that may reduce productivity and make the birds more susceptible to disease.
