The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast - Dr. Jean Noblet: Predicting Feed Energy Accurately | Ep. 155

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, who explains practical approaches for estimating net energy in poultry feeds. He discusses prediction equations, energy evaluation methods, ingredient variability, feeding tables, and the application of indirect calorimetry and comparative slaughter techniques. Learn how accurate energy values support better feed evaluation decisions. Listen now on all major platforms!

What you'll learn:  

• Net energy equations
• Feed energy evaluation
• Ingredient variability factors
• Feeding table selection
• Energy measurement methods

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!
