(Institute for Process and Particle Engineering, Graz University of Technology, Austria, 2013-04)Increases in fuel and feed prices are placing a significant burden on the poultry industry in Ireland and worldwide. For producers to meet their financial targets, increased performance and output is a key issue, now more ...
