Description
"Poultry consumption has increased over the last several years and this trend is expected to continue with the increasing population. With this in mind, the authors of this book have done an excellent job of reviewing current practices in poultry nutrition, evaluating new trends, and discussing how these new trends will impact the poultry industry in the future to meet the increasing demand for poultry meat and eggs. Researchers and nutritionists will find very useful information regarding a variety of topics related to current and future trends in poultry nutrition. Additionally, this book may also be used as supplementary material for poultry science courses." (Book Review Published in the Journal of Applied Poultry Research)
Poultry nutrition faces many challenges, including the need to meet the changing requirements of growing birds whilst also avoiding over-nutrition and nutrient losses which can be both environmentally and economically damaging.** With the sector also facing increasing pressure to reduce its reliance on antibiotics, a greater understanding of the poultry gut, its function and its role in optimising overall bird health is required.
Advances in poultry nutrition provides a detailed overview of the physiology of feed intake in broiler production, focussing on recent advances in nutrient requirements, poultry digestive physiology and the genetic factors which can affect feed conversion efficiency in broilers. The collection also reviews the nutritional value of poultry feed and the range of in vivo and in vitro techniques used to measure factors which can influence its value, such as feed digestibility and metabolizable energy.

Person
Dr Todd Applegate is Head of Department and R. Harold and Patsy Harrison Professor of Poultry Science at the University of Georgia, USA. He is a Fellow and former President of the Poultry Science Association (PSA). Amongst other honours, he is a recipient of the PSA's Evonik Degussa Award for Achievement in Poultry Science. Professor Applegate has edited two previous books for Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing: Achieving sustainable production of poultry meat Volume 2: Breeding and nutrition and Achieving sustainable production of poultry meat Volume 3: Health and welfare, both published in 2017.
Gonzalo Gonzalez Mateos is Agricultural Engineer, PhD in Veterinary and in Animal Nutrition. Professor of Animal Production at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain). He has participated in a total of 170 research projects and published 150 research papers in international scientific journals. He has been involved in over 500 seminars, conferences, communications, and poster presentations at national and international congresses in more than 45 countries. Dr Samuel E. Aggrey is a Richard B. Russell Professor of Genetics, NutriGenomics and Bioinformatics at the University of Georgia, with an international reputation for his work on the genetics of feed utilization efficiency and genome selection in poultry.
Michel Duclos is Research Director (1st class) at INRAE (previously INRA where he led the Avian Research Unit (Unite de Recherches Avicoles) from 2008 to 2016. He is presently Senior Scientist in this unit, now called Avian Biology and Poultry Research (BOA), and is the Vice President of the French branch of the World Poultry Science Association. Dr Guillermo Tellez Isaias worked at the National Autonomous University of Mexico for 16 years and was previously Head of the Avian Medicine Department at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Currently, Dr Tellez is a Research Professor at the Center of Excellence in Poultry Science, University of Arkansas, USA where his research is focused on the advantages of the poultry gastrointestinal model to evaluate the beneficial effects of functional foods to enhance intestinal health and disease resistance. Dr Elisabeth Baeza is a member of the World Poultry Science Association and has contributed more than 130 peer-reviewed research publications to national and international journals. In addition, Dr Baeza has also written four book chapters and is an Associate Editor for several academic journals, including European Poultry Science. Dr Xin Gen Lei is Professor of Molecular Nutrition in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University, USA. Professor Lei has an international reputation for his wide-ranging research in nutrition as well as algal biomass research. Amongst his many achievements, Professor Lei developed a new phytase enzyme that is now used in 46 countries to improve feed phosphorus bioavailability to animals and reduce their phosphorus excretion. He has won a number of awards from The American Society for Nutrition and the American Society of Animal Science. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Nutrition as well as President of TEMA (Trace Elements in Man and Animals).
