Alternate feed ingredients in breeder diets are utilized to reduce reliance on traditional corn and soybean meal while maintaining the high nutrient density required for reproductive success. Common energy-based alternatives include distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), sorghum, and cassava, while protein requirements can be met through insect meals, rapeseed meal, or sunflower cake. These alternatives often contain higher levels of anti-nutritional factors, so they are typically paired with exogenous enzymes (such as phytase or protease) to improve digestibility and ensure consistent delivery of essential amino acids and minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, which are vital for eggshell quality and embryo development.
