By Leeché Storm (Technical Advisor, Pigs) The demand for cereal and oil seeds from emerging markets for energy production has placed increased pressure on the global animal feed sector with the rise of raw material costs. To lower feed costs and improve the sustainable use of feed resources for animal production, by-products from the food […]

Introduction Poultry are homeothermic animals with a normal body temperature range of 41–42°C. Under optimal thermal conditions, typically defined as the thermal neutral zone (18–22°C), birds can maintain their core temperature without expending additional energy. However, deviations from this range, particularly during brooding when higher ambient temperatures are necessary, impose significant physiological and behavioural adjustments. […]
