Hubbard preserves a large gene pool, offering more flexibility for innovative solutions to an industry facing more and more constraints being imposed to them:

• increased feed prices
• animal welfare regulations
• increased segmentation of the markets and
• reduction/shortage in production surface.

“Less Feed, More Meat”

Hubbard’s focus on “Less Feed, More Meat” outlines the ways Hubbard develops and implement best practices in the genetic selection and production of animal protein to feed a growing world population in a sustainable way.

Feed cost represents over 70 per cent of live production cost of a broiler, the highest levels in history and will remain to be at a high level in the years to come. Hubbard’s special focus in its genetic selection program on feed efficiency and total meat output has led to a product range offering the best answers to the poultry industry to save feed costs on breeder and broiler level.

The “Feedsaver” concept of the JV and F15 breeders saves about 15 per cent of feed to produce a broiler day-old-chick compared to conventional breeders.

All Hubbard broilers have an excellent FCR and robustness. This allows customers to use less kg of feed to produce 1kg of live broiler, 1kg of carcass or 1kg of total meat.

Hubbard Product Range

• Feedsaver concept: using the “mini” (or dwarf) breeder females, such as the Hubbard JV and F15, is a real economic alternative to conventional breeder females.
  
  
• Hubbard Classic: rapidly gains market share all around the world, not only in the hot(ter) climate regions but also the “fast food” type markets, thanks to its excellent breeder performances, fast broiler growth and good FCR.
  
  
• Hubbard Flex: now seen as the most feed efficient broiler in Brazil, the second largest market in the world. Hubbard is now supplying more than 15 per cent of the “free” Brazilian breeder market and the outlook for this year is already confirming a higher share.
  
  
• Hubbard H1: the best solution for the heavier broiler markets and for the total de-bone markets focusing on the highest total meat yield per broiler, including breast meat, legs and wings.
  
  
• Hubbard M99 breeder male: continues to be the number 1 male of choice in the USA. Many customers around the world discovered and recognise the positive traits of this excellent breeder male.
  
  
• Hubbard Color Range: covers the needs for high-end quality chicken meat markets and responds to the increasing consumers' demand for highest animal welfare standards and a drastic reduction in use of antibiotics.
