Encyclopaedia of Broiler Breeder Production Production, Feeding and Management Techniques (Poultry Farming and Feed Formulations)

Properly managing the sexual maturation of the modern broiler breeder female is critical to obtaining a high peak and large overall number of quality hatching eggs, The most critical management period for broiler breeders is from photo stimulation (lighting) to peak production Management deficiencies during this period are always cost effective and often cannot be compensated for at a later stage, Broiler breeders require nutrients for maintenance, growth and egg production. Maintenance needs are met first and until that happens growth and egg production is virtually declined. Adjusting the feed allotment throughout the lay cycle control bird nutrient intake. intake must be strictly controlled to prevent hens from becoming overweight resulting in decreased egg production Flocks must be uniform in weight and body condition in order to properly allocate feed allotments. Uniformity is especially critical at the time of lighting. Flocks that vary excessively in uniformity is especially critical at the time of lighting. flocks that vary excessively in uniformity are nearly impossible due to proper management from a feed allotment standpoint. This encyclopaedia is carefully edited and designed in as a such way that the presentation of the subject is clearly understandable.
