Research into the digestion of organic laying hens

Research by Wageningen University's Livestock Research  program has shown that current nutritional data for laying hens in the 'Feed Table of the CVB' in many cases cannot be applied to biological materials as it is based on outdated digestibility studies with adult roosters.


As a result, the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture commissioned research which was conducted by the product working group on poultry meat and eggs of Bioconnect. The aim was to provide a accurate method of calculating the nutritional value of organically grown raw materials for layers.


Two digestibility studies with organic layer diets were performed.
