Feed Ingredients and Additives for Swine and Poultry

Dear Colleagues,

Nutritional values of feed ingredients should be accurately evaluated for sustainable livestock production. As non-conventional feed ingredients are widely being used in swine and poultry diets, an accurate evaluation of feed ingredients is critical. In addition, feed additives to improve the nutritional value of the ingredients are important. The scope of the current Special Issue includes the utilization of energy and nutrients in novel feed ingredients by pigs and poultry, effects of feed ingredients on growth performance, and equations for predicting the utilization of energy and nutrients in feed ingredients fed to pigs and chickens. Data from in vitro digestibility experiments for feed ingredients are also welcome. Additionally, novel methods for determining or improving the nutritional values of feed ingredients or diets for non-ruminants are included in the scope of this Special Issue. We invite you to submit original research papers and reviews to expand our knowledge on the nutritional values of feed ingredients and additives for swine and poultry.
