What are Nutrients Used For?
Growth (also called production or productive)
Increase in size of bones, muscles, internal organs etc…Preferential growth vital organs grow faster, followed by muscle tissue
(Schmidt et al, 2012)

Considerations for Broiler Nutrition
Large feed complexes
Sourcing materials
All diets are pelleted
Increased feed efficiency
Considerations for Broiler Nutrition
Immature birds
6 to 7 wks to market18 wks to maturityMicroflora not set until 10 dEnzyme production not maximized until 2 wk
Discussion Question
Why is lighting important for poultry nutrition?
Considerations for Layer NutritionMature birds
18 to 110 wksCan handle more complex dietsLittle growth
Reproduction
Laying hens egg productionVery high calcium requirement. Why?
Large egg75 calories of ME7.5g of crude protein2g of calcium
Considerations for Turkey NutritionFaster initial growth rate than broilers
Higher amino acids (protein) requirementsHigher P and Ca requirements - why?
Hens 16-18 wks for 30 lbsToms 20-22 wks for 45 lbs
