                          Dietary Energy Density
Dietary Protein Density
Take Home Message

•   Optimal nutrient densities to optimize performance
    and to maximize profit

    1. Good early start pays dividends

    2. Drop the Energy:Protein ratio during grower and finisher
       phases
Background
• Quality in the meat sector
  …has many dimensions (leanness, color, functional properties)

• Maximize value (yield, quality, or profitability)…
   … usually means compromise between multiple competing objectives

• Modeling applications were explored for using nutrition to optimize
  broiler production
   …and explore the impact of nutrition with the aim of improving lean
   meat yield

Techniques
• BW (Live body weight)
• Carcass
  – Eviscerated (feet, head and neck removed)
• Cut Up
  - Breast (p. major + p. minor)
  - Abdominal fatpad (including fat on gizzard)
  - Legs (drum + thigh)
  - Wings
Techniques
- Equations are useful to discover optimal ages or management
    strategies for lean chicken production

•    Allometric analysis was conducted using Huxley’s equation


                        y = ax   b

•     Where y is the weight of the carcass part (g);
    x is the weight of the eviscerated carcass (g);
    a and b are coefficients, estimated using the NLIN procedure of
      SAS.

Whole Market
Optimal Cal:P ratio is slightly higher for the starter and grower phases than for
the cutup market
Final Considerations


• Early nutrition has a strong economic impact

• Nutritionists working with the end product in mind
  have the potential to improve value through
  improving lean yield, reducing carcass fatness
Take Home Message

•   Optimal nutrient densities to optimize performance
    and to maximize profit

    1. Good early start pays dividends

    2. Drop the Energy:Protein ratio during grower and finisher
       phases
