Did you know that Neutral Detergent Fibre (NDF) is a better way to measure the insoluble fraction of dietary fibre than the traditional “crude fibre” value?
It’s not just about numbers — the right type of fibre can make a big difference for your birds.
🐔3 key benefits of including NDF in pullet and layer diets:
1️⃣ Better digestion
Coarse insoluble fibre develops the gizzard, boosts nutrient digestibility, and synchronises digestion.
2️⃣ Improved bird welfare
Reduces feather pecking and cannibalism by encouraging natural foraging behaviour.
3️⃣ Cleaner eggs & litter
Improves faecal consistency and supports hygiene in cage-free systems.
🎙️ In our new TOOLBOX article, our Global Technical Manager Juan Valle Diez explains why NDF is a practical and valuable parameter in feed formulation.
