While looking for more poultry nutrition material to keep me up to date – and, why not admit it: refresh my poultry nutrition knowledge – I stumbled upon the Proceedings of Arkansas Nutrition Conferencethe annual event of The Poultry Federation. It is a trade association representing the poultry and egg industry in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, all located in the United States. This link will take you to the 2015 proceedings, but continue to browse older procedures and more technical and business information. A real treasure, indeed!
Below I have selected a number of presentations that immediately caught my attention. Click on each link to download the material. I am particularly intrigued by broiler production and nutrition in China and Thailand – what a brilliant topic. And of course, everything related alternatives to antibiotics and intestinal health is of great interest these days. For the rest, valine was one of the subjects of my doctorate. thesis, so I have to watch it: will my name appear anywhere? And the rest, well, it’s all animal feed, which I have a particular interest in, but I’m not convinced there’s anything left of soy.
