A strong start to life with Zinpro performance trace mineral nutrition influences the entire life cycle of production

 

Disruptions in the food chain and increased demand for poultry products have put unforeseen pressure on poultry producers to grow flock numbers. Now, producers demand performance from every aspect of their operation – even from birds who haven’t hatched yet.

Studies show that feeding performance trace minerals to breeders for proper embryo development during incubation and improving the quality of day-old chicks resulted in a return on investment of at least 4:1 compared to hens fed a control diet.

This upcoming webinar will elaborate on the critical influence of early life nutrition on the success of poultry businesses. Experts will discuss the importance of:

  • Tissue and skeletal development
  • Hatchability
  • Chick quality

“When 33% of the life of a 42-day marketed broiler is spent in the incubation period, it is important for poultry producers to use performance trace minerals to improve egg nutrient resources and embryonic growth, resulting in more quality day-old chicks,” said Dr. Cibele Torres, D.V.M, Ph.D., Zinpro poultry nutritionist.
