A method of feeding poultry comprises including in the poultry diet from 0.01 to 5% wt of one or more polyhydric alcohols by weight of total feed. The polyhydric alcohol may be sugar alcohol, e.g. sorbitol. The polyhydric alcohol is believed to act as an emulsifier for lipids and the poultry diet may also contain from 2.5 to 20% wt of lipid by weight of total feed. The method is particularly suitable for rearer broiler chickens and the polyhydric alcohols may be supplied in the form of a supplement, a premix, or a total feed. |
