Preview of the 10th Revised Edition of The Nutrient Requirements of Poultry (2024)
Guidelines for nutrient recommendations are valuable sources of information for poultry and animal nutritionists worldwide.
Currently, several nutrition recommendations are provided by primary breeding companies and industry or academic groups:
The Spanish Foundation for the Development of Animal Nutrition (FEDNA) published the NORMAS FEDNA for poultry (2018)
The Federatie Nederlandse Diervoederketen has the CVB Table Booklet Feeding of Poultry (2018),
and Rostagno and collaborators presented recently the 5th edition of The Brazilian Tables for Poultry and Swine (2024).
However, for many decades, the National Research Council (NRC) report of the United States of America was one of the cornerstone references for poultry nutritionists worldwide. The National Academy Press (NAP) published these NRC reports almost every ten years until 1994, when the last one, the 9th revised edition, was issued.
The name of this publication will change since the NRC is now part of another institution. In 2015, the NRC merged with the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine to become the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).
These three private, nonprofit organizations provide the U.S. government expert advice on science, health, and engineering. However, their publications only use the name NASEM. For example, in 2021, the NASEM produced the consensus study report of the eighth revised edition of Nutrient Requirements of Dairy Cattle, and the NRC name disappeared in that publication.
In 2016, an ad hoc committee was created with professors from several American and Canadian Universities and Dr. Gonzalo Gonzalez Mateos from Spain to review the scientific literature on poultry nutrition and make recommendations on nutrient requirements.
On July 15, 2024, this Committee presented an overview of its report during the Informal Nutrition Symposium, held annually during the Poultry Science Association (PSA) Annual Meeting.
The present article is based on the information published by the members of this Committee in the PSA meeting abstract book and notes taken during their presentations. The video record of this symposium will be available on demand on the PSA website. The final printed report should become available to the public in fall 2024, and more information will be available on the NAP website (https://nap.nationalacad...
