Worldwide broilers are grown under different climates, housing, management systems, fed with different raw materials and are subjected to different vaccination and bio-security procedures.
Using local, slow growing breeds or international strains, generally the management and objectives remain the same. The common objectives are sustainable production of affordable, safe and quality poultry meat that can be supported by natural phytogenic functional feed ingredients such as SupplantTM D.
Daily weight gain
Weight for age is often the performance indicator for broilers.
Weight gain being the result of the nutrients supplied, digested and absorbed. As such feed allocation for maintenance has a big impact on the performance and efficiency of broiler production.
Proper raw material quality and proper feeding composition and strategy in combination with good management practices will reduce stress and hence reduces the need for maintenance. Natural phytogenic functional feed ingredients such as Supplant D can contribute to support the genetic performance potential.
Feed cost
Feed cost, determining between 50 to 70% of overall cost in broiler meat production, needs to be focused at in order to produce cost effectively broiler meat.
Feed efficiency can depend on many factors related to the feed composition and quality as well as to the health of the broilers. The efficiency of broiler production starts with healthy broilers.
