A first for the company, the PDF is available as a download only from the Aviagen web site but works on all devices with PDF-reading abilities such as laptops, tablets and smartphones.

The document covers all aspects of broiler management – disease, nutrition, feed conversion rates, lighting and brooding, and was developed by the Aviagen technical team. This interactive tool provides users with a check-list for possible causes and actions which can provide solutions to specific performance problems the broiler farmer may encounter.

Nick French, Global Head of Technical Transfer, said: “The PDF is a simple to use resource, which is easily accessible at all times at the click of a button, instantly providing advice on what to check should a specific issue occur, for example, ensuring that correct feed form is being used in the case of nutrition problems.

“Advice covers all aspects of the production chain, from the hatchery to the feed mill to the broiler farm. We think this latest technical tool is an exceptionally useful addition to our technical service offering and underlines that we are always looking for new and innovative ways to support our customers.”

The PDF is available from the Aviagen web site. Those using the PDF are reminded it is a guide only and, for more specific local advice, users should check with their regional technical team.
