The Informal Nutrition Symposium: Understanding and Meeting Nutrient Requirements of Poultry" was presented on Monday, July 11, 2022 at 1:00 PM CDT at the PSA Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.
Effectively and efficiently meeting nutrient requirements remains a primary concern of poultry nutritionists. Understanding the actual nutrient requirements of the bird, the ability to utilize the nutrients within the diet, and delivering those nutrients in a form that can effectively be utilized to support optimum economic returns will allow the industry to more effectively meet those challenges. This symposium will give real‐world industry context to nutritionists and researchers, and set the stage for new sources of poultry nutrient requirement data and effective use of that data.
The chair for this symposium was Doug Korver (University of Alberta. Presenters for this symposium were Rosalina Angel (University of Maryland), Kirk Klasing (UC Davis), Peter Ferket (North Carolina State University), Markus Rodehutscord (University of Hohenheim, Germany), Paul Tillman (Poultry Technical Nutrition Services), Bill Dozier (Auburn University), Rob Gous (University of Kwazulu‐Natal, South Africa), Mamduh Sifri (Sifri Solutions LLC), Ryan Dilger (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), Keysuke Muramatsu (DSM Nutritional Products, Brazil), and Charles Stark (Kansas State University).
