Modifying Performance in poultry through Enzymes when used alternative raw materials in feed Dr. Milind D. Rainchwar, Novus Animal Nutrition India With the advent and modifications in poultry genetics, varied strains are being produced to yield optimum performance in terms of Body weight, FCR, EEF, Egg production, Uniformity, Reduction in mortality, etc. Genetic potential is an inherent property of a bird that has undergone huge changes over the past few decades. The genetics is closely associated with the nutrition being provided to the birds during their lifetime to achieve optimum performance and exploit the genetic potential. The thumb rule is that the phenotype (physical expression-performance) of birds is determined by a combination of its genotype (Genetics) and environment (Nutrition, Management, etc.). Provided the genotype is being taken care of by Breeding companies, utmost emphasis should be placed on the type of nutrition to be provided Dr. Milind D. Rainchwar
to achieve the required target performance of birds. Feed is an important and expensive input that contributes almost 70-75 percent of total cost of production. Like the famous notion of-GARBAGE IN=GARBAGE OUT, the raw material quality indicates directly the quality of finished feed being produced, of course considering other parameters such as feed milling, etc. Hence, the quality of raw materials should be given due emphasis to produce an optimal feed to achieve target performance.
