Introduction Table 1: Nutrient Specifications for As-Hatched Broilers Grown <1.9 kg Live Weight Table 2: Nutrient Specifications for As-Hatched Broilers Grown to 2.0-2.9 kg Live Weight Table 3: Nutrient Specifications for As-Hatched Broilers Grown >3.0 kg Live Weight

Introduction
Nutrition specifications for broilers are given in the following tables for a range of production and market situations across the world: As-Hatched As-Hatched As-Hatched <1.9 kg 2.0-2.9 kg >3.0 kg live weight live weight live weight Table 1 Table 2 Table 3

Modifications may need to be made for specific market conditions. Factors to be considered are: Final product live bird or portioned products. The supply and price of feed ingredients. Age and live weight at slaughter. Yield and carcass quality. Market requirements for skin color, shelf-life, etc. Use of sexed growing. The most appropriate diet will be designed to either minimize cost for live bird production or maximize margin over cost for portioned products required by the processing plant. For optimal portions margin, it is recommended that amino acid density be increased up to 5% in all diets. If you require any further information regarding these recommendations please contact your Aviagen Nutrition Service Manager.
