Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt - #18 - Feeding the future: the Caribbean poultry nutrition - Part 2

Logistics and efficiency take center stage for a poultry nutritionist operating in the Caribbean. Unlike in the U.S., where grain supplies are abundant and easily accessible, the Caribbean requires meticulous planning due to the limited access to resources. Combining unique environmental factors like high ambient temperatures and distinct geographical features, using the proper nutrients becomes crucial. In the second part of this episode, Dr. Tanika O'Connor Dennie kept highlighting the differences in the poultry feed industry in the Caribbean, discussing the need to adapt to different regions, ingredients, and situations like COVID-19.
