While the incidence of Broiler Myopathies is erratic and not observed in all regions of the world, it has become an important issue for the industry as a whole. This document incorporates findings of the latest investigative research. Read more
Appropriate management practices, such as grading, extended lighting programs, and provision of an enhanced nutrient strategy when implemented during the rearing period can help alleviate the presence of male leg health issues in late rear and production. Read more
Reducing the concentration of diets by including low-energy raw materials as diluents is a nutritional strategy to increase feed volume, improve uniformity, avoid abnormal behaviors and promote efficient digestion. These factors are essential to obtain successful biological … Read more
Through our balanced breeding approach, we have brought continual improvements in Welfare, Sustainability and Productivity to the broiler industry for many years. The poster shows some of the advances in broiler sustainability over the last 20 years. Read more

These nutrition specifications have been produced for areas of the World where the inclusion of animal proteins and/or sub-therapeutic levels of antibiotics are prohibited; promoting good enteric health and minimizing the risk of wet litter. Read more
Unlike mammalian species, chicks hatch with an internal resource of moisture and nutrients in the form of residual yolk. At the time of lay, the yolk of a broiler line egg will be 30-33% of the total egg weight (e.g., 20 g [0.7 oz] of yolk in a 62 g [2.2 oz] egg). Because of… Read more
Regular advances in body weight gains, carcass component yields, and the reduction in the feed conversion ratio (FCR) have been achieved while also emphasizing health and welfare traits. To support optimal broiler biological performance, Aviagen has updated the nutrient spec… Read more
