The future feeding of poultry is considered under two scenarios: one relating to developed regions where the feed supply is secure, and the other relating to some developing regions where it is less certain. No major changes are anticipated in regions with an ample supply of conventional feed ingredients, but significant changes are likely in regions which are attempting to expand their poultry industries with an inadequate indigenous supply of conventional feedstuffs. They will have to rely on strategies to improve protein utilization, such as supplementation with amino acids or the use of proteases, or strategies to improve energy utilization, such as the use of enzymes or unconventional feed sources. In developing countries, meanwhile, likely developments include the emergence of a feed manufacturing infrastructure to support the various sectors of the poultry industry and the more widespread adoption of integrated plant/poultry/soil production systems that emphasize economic efficiency and sustainability.
