Variation in digestibility parameters related to feed efficiency between and within two laying hen lines

To meet the increasing demand for eggs, while limiting the environmental impact, an increased efficiency of laying hen production is required. Feed efficiency (FE) plays a major role in this. In broilers, relationships between nutrient digestibility and FE have been observed, suggesting that informa...
