Preserving margins by optimising feed

By improving the overall digestibility of feed, performance of laying hens can be further optimised, as shown by some layer specific digestibility studies. This can help to reduce costs for the poultry farmers. The egg industry faces many challenges such as reduced margins, changes in production models and reduction of antibiotic usage. Thus, the move to cage-free eggs spreading from Europe to the rest of the world will require significant investments in alternative housing and increase costs o
