Keeping Chickens Healthy and Productive

Are you considering buying a poultry farm or expanding your existing one? What are the best practices to build into your plans that can help you optimize your yield?

As a commercial poultry farmer, maximizing yield and minimizing loss is imperative for running a profitable operation. However, the well-being of the birds themselves directly impacts outcomes. Poultry farmers can reduce mortality rates and increase productivity by creating optimal environments and preventative healthcare.

Keeping pace with production research allows farmers to maximize yields without sacrificing bird welfare in unsafe, overly demanding environments. If you are looking to buy or build a poultry house, you want to create excellent living conditions that are conducive to vitality and efficient processing. Poultry farmers should plan to focus on implementing the latest science-based best practices for elements like proper ventilation, friable litter, biosecurity, and temperature regulation throughout the full growth cycle. Attentive husbandry aligned with integrators’ contractual standards protects operators from losing entire flocks to preventable disasters like contagious illness or heat stress.
