Enhanced Bioavailability of Nutrients in Pelleted Feeds: Implications for Performance, Health, and Meat Quality of the Broiler Chicken
Abstract: The optimization of nutrient bioavailability in pelleted feeds is crucial for enhancing the performance, health, and meat quality of broiler chickens. This review explores the complex mechanisms by which pelleting improves nutrient availability, including physical changes in feed structure, thermal and chemical effects, and the reduction of anti-nutritional factors. It also highlights the significance of improved gut health and digestion, which contributes to enhanced nutrient absorption and utilization. The paper …
