Superior performance on lower cost feed rations
Design the brooding set-up to ensure easy access to water and feed at placement and to ease the transition between supplementary systems and the automated feeders and drinkers at 4-5 days. Feed a highly digestible, high quality Starter diet.
Keep chicks in their thermal comfort zone by monitoring chick behaviour, but beware of low relative humidities (less than 50% RH). Establish a minimum ventilation programme from day one.
Monitor crop fill, feeding and drinking behaviour and 7 day liveweight to allow continuous improvement of the brooding set-up.
Keep birds in their thermal comfort zone throughout the growing period. Fast growing broilers produce large amounts of heat, particularly in the second half of the growout period. Keeping ambient temperatures less than 21ºC (69.8ºF) from 21 days onwards may improve growth rates.
Maintain high standards of biosecurity and cleanliness to keep disease to a minimum.
