Innovative Strategies for Sustainable and Efficient Poultry Feeding

Abstract

This seminar examines innovative strategies for sustainable and efficient poultry feeding, merging essential nutritional principles with practical applications. It focusses on optimising diets for broilers and layers by incorporating novel ingredients, precision feeding techniques, and formulation tools that improve performance while minimising environmental impacts. Participants will acquire both theoretical insights and practical experience in creating balanced, resource-efficient diets tailored for contemporary poultry production systems.

Bio

Prof. Achille Schiavone is a Full Professor of Poultry Science at the University of Turin (Italy). Since obtaining his PhD in Poultry Science in 2002, Prof. Schiavone has developed his research career around various aspects of poultry science, with a particular focus on nutrition, animal welfare, and biodiversity preservation. Over the past ten years, he has dedicated substantial efforts to investigating the use of insects as alternative resources to enhance animal welfare and to safeguard the biodiversity of local poultry breeds within an agroecological framework. He has also invested considerable time and energy in numerous projects conducted in developing countries (including Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea-Bissau, and Ecuador) as well as in collaboration with the industrial sector, with the primary aim of knowledge and skills transfer
