Balancing nutritional precision with field performance is a daily challenge. While formulation tools like NIR are essential to control raw material quality, they stop at the feed mill. But what happens when the feed reaches the animal?
Formulated energy is not always digested energy. And until now, there was no easy way to measure digestibility in real farm conditions.
Adisseo now brings clarity to this invisible part of precision nutrition.
Use real AME values to adjust formulations, validate feed strategies, and support data-driven nutrition decisions with confidence.
Understand why similar diets lead to different results by revealing variations in feed digestion across farms, houses, or bird types.
Get reliable digestibility data in just 24 hours no need for costly, complex or time-consuming animal trials.
In reality, diet formulation is only the first step. Once the feed is processed, transported, and consumed by the animal, many other factors come into play: particle size, heat treatment, interactions between ingredients, bird condition, age, gut health, environment all of them can influence digestibility.
And yet, today’s industry lacks practical tools to verify how feed is actually digested under real-life field conditions. The gold standard (in vivo digestibility trials) are costly, time-consuming, and rarely feasible on commercial farms. This creates a critical gap between what is formulated and what is truly utilized by the bird.
Nutritionists are left with performance indicators that come too late, without being able to pinpoint whether digestion was a limiting factor.
Even with the most precise formulation, nutritionists often face a critical question: what is actually being digested by the animal on the farm? Between raw material variability, feed processing, and on-farm conditions, a gap often appears between what’s formulated on paper and what birds really utilize.
To close that gap, Adisseo has developed a science-based solution to assess the digestible energy (AME) of broiler diets directly in the field using a method that is quick, reliable, and based on your own farm data: Feed Digestibility Check.
Until now, digestibility has remained out of reach in routine practice — too slow, too complex, or too expensive to measure regularly.
With a simple protocol involving feed and feces sampling, followed by rapid NIR analysis through the PNE platform, you can now:
This turns a long-standing blind spot into something visible, repeatable, and comparable.
Soybean meal (SBM) remains the most frequently used oilseed meal in monogastric feeds. Expected to provide high quality protein and amino acids (AA) profile, SBM is included at rather high rate, particularly in broiler feeds. Consequently, SBM weighs heavily on final feed cost as well on animal performances. It’s then crucial for feed formulators to properly assess SBM’s nutritional quality.
