How on-farm hatchery can improve flock performance

摘要

On-farm hatching is delivering better broiler performance while improving welfare and cutting carbon emissions for one Hertfordshire producer.Tom Wornham's family farm almost 200,000 birds for one of the UK's largest poultry integrators. He recently switched to 100% on-farm hatching from Belgian firm NestBorn, which means fertilised eggs are now delivered to the farm rather than day-old chicks at the beginning of a flock.
