Main target in this stage
Perfect your production

Every broiler farmer aims to deliver the right number of birds in optimal condition to their customers. After managing all growth phases, it's time to meet customer needs by ensuring the highest quality and performance at delivery. Trust in your management and preparation to achieve the best results for both your farm and your customers.

Reach your optimal production targets

Meeting customer expectations from slaughterhouses and retail is crucial for broiler farmers. Delivering the right number of birds in optimal condition ensures customer satisfaction, repeat business, and strengthens relationships. Today’s farmers are data-driven, using insights to make informed decisions. By maintaining high quality and performance at delivery, farmers contribute to a smooth supply chain, building trust and long-term success for both farm and customer.

Minimising occasions of injuries

Scratches, picking wounds, broken wings, and legs lead to lower yield and profitability, as slaughterhouses and retailers won’t buy or process injured birds. It’s such a pity when things go wrong in the final week of growing broilers, as small mistakes can result in injuries. Preventing these issues is crucial for ensuring higher quality and better market value.
