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 a sugar alcohol, eg 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 sultable for rearer broiler chickens and the polyhydric alcohols may be supplied in the form of a supplement, a premix, or a total feed. |
