Q: How much does fleshing and nutrients impact the proliferation of seminiferous tubules in males at the age of 15-25 weeks? A: We know there is an effect of fleshing and nutrition that allows the proliferation of the seminiferous tubule of males from 15-25 weeks. The nutrient quantification is at a cellular level and has not been studied in detail. However, we know that following Cobb body weight standard and fleshing targets plus nutrition specifications optimizes the male genetic potential. To learn more, visit https://lnkd.in/gMxXWqz7

Customers of Cobb China gathered in Beijing for the 2024 Cobb China Customer Summit on September 25&26, 2024.

In general, feed form for commercial feed production is classified into 3 main forms which are mash, crumble and pellet. The application of each feed form depends on the age of bird and the specific purpose. Today, we will talk about the feed mill process to produce mash, pellet and crumble feed. QA process in each step and feed form guideline for each bird type and age. Watch the video to learn more. https://lnkd.in/grcFXVbn

The Cobb Team hosted a seminar for San Miguel Foods in Central Luzon on September 20, 2024.

Q: Could you please share the adjustment of crude protein in breeder diets? A: You could probably adjust protein, lower or higher to help you formulate with amino acids. For example, grower specification is 14.5%, and it can go as low as 14% and as high as 15%. Do not go lower than 14% formulated because your minimum values will drop below 13% protein and you can start having issues like feathering problems, poor fleshing condition in some flocks.

Q: What would happen if we managed the grading every day and give extra feed for small birds every day in a special pen? How can we manage the bird population in this small pen during rearing? A: At Cobb, we don't recommend grading every day because this will create stress for the bird and interrupt normal growth and development. In general, grading should be done at 4 and 8 weeks of age and separate small birds in pens and give extra feed. Grading is a tool to improve flock uniformity but it's not tool to fix feed management issues. Farms should focus on feed distribution, progressive feeder space, water consumption, environment control and biosecurity for good flock uniformity. If you experience chick quality issues, we recommend doing an early grading at 7 days to recover super small chicks as soon as possible. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g-y4YR6X

Common feather issues in broiler breeders include incomplete feather development as a result of insufficient nutrient supply, feather pecking and licking and abnormal molting. Severe feather pecking induces cannibalism and has a negative impact on breeder performance. The possible nutritional causes include protein and amino acids, energy, minerals and vitamins, mycotoxin, fiber and feed form. Watch the video to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gbTZxKD6
