PS Nutrition and Performance Objectives go hand in hand

The new PS Nutrition Specifications and Performance Objectives work together to reach optimum reproductive performance, optimal early development, chick quality, livability and other aspects of bird health and well-being. The Specifications give the precise nutritional balance needed to grow healthy, robust birds at each stage of development, while the Objectives reflect ongoing improvement in the genetic potential and resulting field performance of Ross birds. Using this document, customers can benchmark their performance against the PS standards.

“Our aim for the new Performance Objectives and Nutrition Specifications is to help our customers throughout the region achieve the absolute best in bird health and productivity”, remarked Dejan Bosanac. “We were very happy with the level of interest and engagement in this webinar, and have found the virtual format to be a popular and efficient format for bringing together a broad audience of professionals, especially during the current pandemic.”
