The Tenth Revised Edition of Nutrient Requirements of Poultry is a comprehensive analysis of recent research on feeding and nutrition of poultry, nutrient requirements, and physiological and environmental factors affecting requirements. This book is an update of the recommendations contained in the 1994 Ninth Edition, with updated nutrient requirements and feeding strategies to minimize nutrient losses in manure and reduce greenhouse gas production. Nutrient Requirements of Poultry Tenth Revised Edition will serve as an authoritative source of information for feeding poultry.

This edition brings together research-based recommendations on energy, protein, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, helping professionals develop effective feeding programs and evaluate nutritional needs across different production stages.

The book is particularly valuable for professionals involved in poultry feed formulation, broiler and layer nutrition, flock health, growth, reproduction, and production efficiency. By connecting nutrient requirements with practical poultry management, it provides a strong scientific foundation for making informed nutritional decisions.
