LES PROGRÈS DE L'ALIMENTATION ANIMALE POUR SATISFAIRE LES CRITÈRES DE QUALITÉ : DU PRODUCTEUR AU CONSOMMATEUR !*

Consumers'expectations have drastically changed over the last twenty years. Animal products are more and more transformed into ready-to-cook even ready-to-eat products. To the performance target, have been added consumers'desires such as quality, health and transformers'constraints for homogeneity and capacity for further processing. The nutritionist becomes the scientist of the compromise. He has to reach performance with quality with the help of feed complements and additives such as amino acids, vitamins, trace minerals. He can use rapid evaluation tool to adapt complementation to the actual batch of raw materials as well as exogenous enzymes to better access the valuable nutrients. By modifying the feeding strategy and feed composition, the nutritionist is able to contribute to satisfy human needs: from polyunsaturated fatty acids to vitamins and health benefits. Furthermore, the overall target is to guarantee the sustainability of animal productions.
