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.
