Themes

  1. Environmental impact: challenges for poultry nutrition?
    This session is dedicated to all aspects related to a more holistic approach to poultry nutrition and diet formulation; circularity; sustainability; biodiversity index; license to produce

  2. (Novel) ingredients and processing
    This session is dedicated to current developments in novel (protein) feed resources; effects of dietary fibre and feed form or physical structure; use of certain raw materials or (innovative) co-products; feed technology.
  3. Requirements, responses and recommendations
    This session is dedicated to how to use guiding principles to formulate diets; use of modelling approaches; dose responses; in vitro testing; non-invasive techniques; bio-markers.                         
  4. Customized feeding strategies
    This session is dedicated to more tailored feeding strategies, e.g., extended laying cycle, early feeding concepts, split feeding, choice feeding, phase feeding.                                       

For all sessions we invite abstracts on all poultry species (rearing, laying, broiler, broiler breeder, waterfowl, etc). We realize that response variables such as (gut) health, egg & meat quality, and welfare could fit in any of the sessions, and thus to be chosen by the abstract submissioner.
