Supporting digestive health and performance in broiler chickens
High-performance, competitive nutrition for laying and breeding poultry
Maximizing laying and reproductive performance through nutrition and expert advice
Feed accounts for the largest portion (at least 60%) of the production cost of laying and breeding poultry worldwide, regardless of the physiological stage (brooding or production), the rearing method (conventional, alternative, organic), the genetics (red or white laying strains, meat or egg-laying breeding strains), and the sex of the breeding stock. Controlling feed costs is therefore a key driver of competitiveness in the industry and requires a comprehensive approach which includes adapting the nutritional strategy to the production context, industrial control of manufacturing processes, and the use of additives that ensure performance.
Identifying the optimal nutritional strategy for each production context
Drawing on its knowledge of the industry and trials conducted at the MRC research center, Mixscience tailors its nutritional strategies to different production contexts. This ensures that the company supports changes in the egg market.
Its teams focus on several key areas:
- the development of alternative farming systems,
- extending flock sizes enabled by genetic progress,
- differentiation based on market outlets (shell eggs or egg products),
- adaptation to the feeding behavior of breeding strains,
- optimization of available resources,
- and development of innovative nutritional solutions.
The goal is to meet the energy, protein, and mineral needs of different strains while optimizing production costs, whether for table eggs or breeding eggs.
Mastering the manufacturing process to maximize flock performance
The feeding behavior of laying and breeding poultry is a key factor in maximizing feed potential and, consequently, performance. This behavior is primarily influenced by the presentation of the feed, whether in meal or crumb form. Even the best recipes will not satisfy farm requirements if the feed is, for example, too hard, too powdery, or too inconsistent from one production batch to the next. To address this, Mixscience offers its livestock feed manufacturer customers the TEC+ approach. This approach identifies the strengths and limitations of manufacturing equipment to ensure the best possible alignment between the capabilities of the facilities and the animals’ needs.
Optimizing performance through targeted nutritional solutions
Animal health and consistent feed intake are essential factors for maximizing livestock performance. The assessment, development, and selection of nutritional solutions are therefore an integral part of the recommendations and advice Mixscience offers its clients to address the various challenges they may face. A range of additives can therefore complement nutritional strategies, whether to optimize liver function, ensure digestive health, or guarantee high-quality eggshells.
