What will the broiler of the future look like?

摘要

The broiler of 2017 is much advanced from the bird of 30 years ago, but will the bird of the future follow this trend of genetic advancement? What could change in the next eight years?Dr. Patricio Liberona, director of veterinary services for South America's Southern Cone for Hubbard, said the broiler of the future will be more efficient, heavier, with better feed conversion and yielding more, higher-quality meat. But this doesn't mean the genetic focus will only be about developing bigger birds that grow faster. Liberona spoke on September 29,2017, as part of the 25th Latin American Poultry Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico.
