The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast - Dr. Jean Noblet: Net Energy in Poultry Nutrition | Ep. 154

In this special episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, we bring you a crossover with The Poultry Podcast Show. Co-host Dr. Pratima Adhikari sits down with Dr. Jean Noblet, consultant in monogastric nutrition and former INRA Director of Research, to explain the evolution of poultry feed energy evaluation from metabolizable energy to net energy systems. He discusses indirect calorimetry, standardized AME approaches, prediction equations, and practical applications for improving feed evaluation accuracy in poultry nutrition. Listen now on all major platforms!

What you’ll learn: 

• Poultry energy evaluation
• AME standardization methods
• Net energy prediction
• Indirect calorimetry concepts
• Feed energy equations

Meet the guest:

Dr. Jean Noblet earned his Agronomy degree from INA Paris Grignon and a PhD in Nutrition from Université Pierre et Marie Curie. After nearly four decades at INRA, his work advanced energy evaluation systems, calorimetry methods, and nutritional modeling for pigs and poultry. Today, he consults internationally on monogastric nutrition and feed energy evaluation. Listen to Dr. Jean Noblet on The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, available on all major platforms.
