Recent Advances in Poultry Nutrition and Production

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality papers on poultry nutrition and the inter-relations between nutrition, metabolism, gut microflora, and poultry performance. Therefore, I invite the submission of recent findings, in the form of original research articles or reviews, on poultry nutrition in such areas as:

• the nutrient requirements of poultry;
• the impact of dietary fibre on poultry health and performance；
• the use of feed additives to improve gut microflora and performance;
• the effect of feeding on poultry meat end egg quality;
• assessing factors that cause variation in feed ingredients used in poultry diets；
• alternative feed ingredients for use in poultry feed formulations；
• the influence of gastrointestinal pH on nutrient bioavailability and the intestinal microbiota in poultry；
• evaluating phytate and xylan ‘susceptibility’ to the effects of enzymes;
• assessing factors that influence reactivity and enzyme efficacy；and
• developing in vitro models to determine the digestibility of poultry diets.
