User guide for poultry feed formulation application

A new user guide from the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) outlines the Tropical Poultry Genetics Solutions (TPGS) poultry feed formulation application, designed for users with basic knowledge of nutrition and feeds.

It offers a dynamic platform where ingredients and nutritional compositions can be edited.

Users can save, share, or print their formulations, and the guide can be continuously improved with new features based on feedback.

It is free for national partners, smallholders, and semi-commercial producers who formulate their own poultry feed using available ingredients.
