Hello .
We use in Israel soupstock oil and no one of the other fats you mention.
I would like to know if 8500 me/kg is right or shall I use 8200.
In layer feeds I use 8700 and I do not know if I can use it or not.
Thank you.

Very good article. I read this article in India also. One thing about calcium hunger is that excess of calcium in feed will depress slight feed consumption, for ex. if a layer feed has 5 calcium, what will be the effect.

The article Formulating Feed for Broiler Performance by Dr. K.R.Gunasekar is a good effort and an informative tool for the nutritionist to consider. The tables regarding Nutritonal Standard would be perfect if it is included the level of Linoleic acid and fat contents with respect to such higher levels of ME and amino acid ratio.
Further it would be beneficial if the season and types of houses should also be mentioned for such nutritient specification.
Moreover under the heading of Summer Management the author suggests to increase the fiber level in the diet but under the mentioned nutrient specification, it would be difficult to formulate the high density rations with high fiber level.Under these circumstances it would be beneficial if the inclusion of other enzymes for NSP should also be mentioned.
Overall it is a good article to achieve the best goal while considering the economic impact.

It is a beneficial article for all involved in poultry nutrition. It would have been more interesting if the writer provided duration of feeding of prestarter, starter and finisher rations. Furthermore, it would have been more interesting if the author could quote rations for summer season as it would not be possible to feed such given energy rich rations in summer.

The paper was very useful. I would know about application of calcium salts of fatty acids (or fat powder) in poultry diets that is usual at present in Iran. I know this product is prepared for ruminants (esp dairy cattle), but in order to easy transport and mixing (in diet) is using, altough our experiments were shown CSFA had a lower ME in comparison with soy oil significantly.

We need this formula to break even in profitability in this broiler business as the cost of feed is high.
