Novus International, Inc., a leader in intelligent nutrition, is set to share its latest research findings on U.S. soybean meal quality and copper sources’ impact on broilers at the upcoming International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF) on January 27-28, 2025. This forum will be held alongside the International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
The IPPE event will span from January 28-30, with IPSF specifically taking place on January 27-28 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Novus will present groundbreaking insights into the soybean meal quality and copper supplementation in broiler diets during this prestigious event.
Soybean meal quality is critical for poultry nutrition, as it serves as the primary source of protein and amino acids in poultry diets. Novus has been at the forefront of studying soybean meal quality, with a particular focus on trypsin inhibitors’ activity in U.S.-produced soybean meal. These inhibitors can negatively impact amino acid digestibility and broiler performance, making their analysis crucial for poultry producers.
Through the use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) technology, Novus has been able to assess the level of trypsin inhibitor activity in soybean meal samples from the U.S. between 2021-2024. This research provides valuable insights for producers and nutritionists to optimize feed formulations and enhance broiler performance. Novus offers solutions like CIBENZA® Enzyme Feed Additive to mitigate the impact of trypsin inhibitors and improve production efficiency.
Dr. Frances Yan, Senior Manager of Global Poultry Research at Novus, will present her study on trypsin inhibitor activity in U.S. soybean meal during the IPSF event. This presentation will shed light on the importance of soybean meal analysis for precision feeding and maximizing production efficiency.
In addition to soybean meal analysis, Novus will also share new research on copper supplementation in broiler diets. Copper plays a crucial role in supporting various physiological functions in broilers, and optimizing its source and levels in feed is essential for performance enhancement. Novus’s research demonstrates that organic sources of copper, such as MINTREX® Cu, can effectively replace inorganic sources like tribasic copper chloride (TBCC) at lower supplementation levels without compromising growth performance.
Dr. Yan will present a meta-analysis comparing the effects of organic and inorganic copper sources on broiler growth performance during IPSF. This research highlights the potential benefits of using organic copper sources in broiler diets and offers evidence-based recommendations for poultry producers and nutritionists.
To attend the IPSF event and learn more about Novus’s research findings, registration is required through the IPPE website. Attendees can also visit the Novus booth at IPPE, located in Hall A, Booth 1833, to engage with poultry experts and explore the latest advancements in intelligent nutrition for the poultry industry.
Novus’s participation in IPSF underscores its commitment to driving innovation and advancing poultry nutrition through cutting-edge research and solutions. Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with Novus experts and discover the latest developments in soybean meal quality and copper supplementation for broilers at this premier industry event.
