Improving broiler performance without increasing costs
Poultry farmers and broiler integrators are constantly looking for ways to increase efficiency and performance while simultaneously reducing production costs. Feeding costs represent 70% of a farmer’s total costs: focus on making the right feed purchases is key to achieving the optimal cost-performance balance.
Additionally, enhanced practices for farm and animal health management help improve broiler performance without increasing costs.
How to recognise
Every feed-related decision can have a significant impact on profit margins. Optimise broiler performance by formulating diets that are better digested and fully utilise protein and energy, resulting in more sustainable farms.
We recommend a pre-starter feed in the first four days after hatching to support early development and deliver birds with the highest possible weight and the lowest cost per kilogram at the end of the production cycle.
The impact on the farmer
Efficient farm management plays a key role in improving broiler performance profitably. Focus on all aspects that directly affect the bird’s performance and health, including staff training, brooding management, water and litter management and farm hygiene measures. Additionally, attention to proper biosecurity practices throughout broiler production is essential to preventing losses in growth and diseases.
The best return on investment happens during the first four days of a chick’s life, when the right feed intake and healthy growth results in a high-performing broiler.
