The Importance of Energy Density in Livestock Feed

CategoryNEWS 14 0

One of the critical factors in animal feed formulation is energy density. High-energy feed ensures optimal growth, especially in high-production animals like broilers, sows, and lactating cows.

Animal feed for poultry rich in metabolizable energy supports rapid weight gain and better FCR (feed conversion ratio). For pigs, energy-dense feed improves sow fertility and milk yield for piglets.

In animal feed for dairy cattle, high-energy components such as bypass fats and grains ensure the animal meets its energy needs for peak milk output.

However, balance is key. Excess energy can lead to metabolic disorders. That’s why modern nutritionists carefully calibrate every component in energy-optimized animal feed to match animal requirements.

Delivering consistent, energy-rich feed improves health, reduces days to market, and ensures better farm profitability.
