The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast - Jo Ann Chew: Table Egg Pullets Response to Amino Acid Supply | Ep. 177

In this episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Jo Ann Chew, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alberta, examines amino acid requirements in pullet diets. Research comparing dietary levels from 60% to 110% of breeder recommendations reveals important differences in performance, feeding systems, and welfare. Discover how precision feeding, early nutrition, and nitrogen management could shape more efficient pullet production. Listen now on all major platforms!

What you'll learn:  

• Pullet amino acid requirements
• Precision feeding strategies
• Dietary levels and performance
• Early nutrition effects
• Feed efficiency and sustainability

Meet the guest:

Dr. Jo Ann Chew is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alberta. Her PhD research examined amino acid supply in white and brown pullets, comparing dietary treatments and precision feeding strategies. Her work addresses poultry performance, individual feed intake, nitrogen excretion, and opportunities to improve nutritional efficiency while maintaining flock welfare.
