In-ovo feeding technology of phytogenics

Phytogenic feed additives are cost-effective feed additives with proven positive effects on poultry growth rate, nutrient digestibility and gut health. This article discusses the potential of in-ovo feeding of phytobiotics during the incubation period of broilers. In broilers, the egg composition and micro-environment affect the growth of the embryo. However, the limited nutrients available for the development of embryos may inhibit newly hatched chicks from growing and developing to their fu
