Evaluating Uniformity in Broilers - Factors Affecting Variation
By Claude Toudic, Technical Service, Hubbard Breeders - During a technical visit to a broiler farm the topic of uniformity is generally assessed visually and subjectively, as to do the job properly would require individual weighing of hundreds of broilers...

Targeting Hidden Meat Yield
By James Young, Cobb World Technical Support Team - Over the last decade, primary breeders have invested many millions of dollars in developing higher yielding broilers. Whether eviscerated yield or boneless breast yield drives a company's profits, there...

How to control growth to improve economic results
By Brian Fairchild and Mike Lacy, University of Georgia Department of Poultry Science - In many ways a modern broiler is similar to a finely tuned racing car. When all aspects of the maintenance and operation of the racing car are in order, the vehicle...

Enhancing Early Egg Size and Maintaining Shell Quality in Layers
By the Alberta Government - Underweight pullets are one of the most common causes for small early eggs. It is known that underweight pullets produce more small eggs early in the production cycle.

Troubleshooting Flock Fertility Problems
By Dr. James A. Ranson, Hubbard LLC - According to a recent Agri Stats' survey, the average hatchability in the U.S. is around with a few operations obtaining 85-86%, while others only 79-80%. This difference in results can be explained in part by problems...

Mash or Pellet? The Question of Genetics
By Jean-Jacques Trevidy, Hubbard Europe - This article evaluates the options of mashing or pelleting broiler feed, and like many choices the broiler producer has, the answer is dependant upon a number of factors (page 2/4).

Revolutionizing Turkey Production: Functional genomics is the driving force
By USDA's Agriculture Agricultural Research Service - Consumers give many thanks for the estimated 5.6 billion pounds of turkey brought to market each year. U.S. farmers meet that demand by producing close to 300 million turkeys annually.
