New nutritional solutions for hens, rich in cellulose, determinant in increasing the competitiveness of a poultry unit by reducing production costs and increasing the quality of eggs

The project follows to develop new nutritional strategies, consisting of complex and innovative feed recipes for laying hens using by-products rich in cellulose and with impact in the price of feed; know-how on superior
capitalization of by-products with rich content in cellulose; increasing consumer confidence in functional foods (eggs with low cholesterol) that can be obtained using new nutritional strategies. It will develop a set of
minimum four nutritional solutions that will test in experimental halls and two best nutritional solutions will experience in the production halls of the project coordinator to establish the top solution.
INCD ECOIND activities are: to establish the amount of cellulose / feed which is best enzymatic processed; to establish the timing of residual enzyme and the enzymatic activity in the digestive tract; to identify the risk
factors and assess the impact of nutritional solutions used in experiments by chemical and microbiological determination from samples of feed and manure; to determine the presence of minerals in eggs collected in
experiments; to prioritize the tested nutritional solutions based on quality of eggs.
