Nutritional Endocrine Poultry Growth
1931 - 1941
The dominant paradigm connected poultry growth, reproduction, and skeletal health to nutritional physiology, emphasizing vitamins, minerals, and nutrient interactions—Vitamin G linked to reproduction and phosphorus–protein balance shaping bone integrity and metabolism. Environmental and management conditions were central to egg production and quality, with research on seasonal effects on growth, temperature effects on egg size, egg shelf-life and storage deterioration, post-collection handling, and strategies to secure earlier production through stimulated egg production. Growth physiology and systemic biology framed development via precise measures of body composition, normal growth trajectories, and blood physiology, highlighting how nutrition under standard conditions supports stable growth.
• Nutritive framework shows vitamins, minerals, and novel nutritional factors shaping growth, reproduction, and skeletal health, with Vitamin G linked to reproduction [2], phosphorus and protein balance driving bone integrity and rickets/perosis [7][9], and broader nutrition research highlighting relative protein efficiency and nutrient interactions [16][19][3][5][10].
• Environmental and management conditions drive egg production and egg quality, spanning seasonal effects on growth and feed use in turkey production [1], temperature effects on egg size [8], egg shelf-life and deterioration in storage [12], and post-collection handling's impact on keeping quality [18], plus strategies to secure earlier production through stimulated egg production [20].
• Bone health and skeletal disorders in poultry cluster around mineral nutrition and vitamins; perosis and rickets risk with phosphate and Vitamin G interactions, with phosphorus requirements [7], ground phosphate rock effects on growth/egg production [9], vitamin G role in reproduction [4], and nutrition-focused studies on rickets and bone metabolism [3][10][5].
• Growth physiology and systemic biology frame poultry development via body composition and normal growth trajectories, underpinned by measurements of hen body fats [6], normal growth under standard conditions [15], and blood physiology insights [17].
