Factors to consider when feeding higher levels of copper in broiler production

Abstract

Can feeding higher levels of copper in broiler diets cost-effectively support poultry gut heath and help manage challenges such as heat stress? To address such questions, Trouw Nutrition, a Nutreco company, is sharing research data suggesting hydroxychloride copper offers a cost-effective dietary option for producers seeking to reduce antimicrobials in broiler diets while maintaining weight gain, bird health and feed conversion.
