Our Spring/ Summer range of broiler diets are specifically designed to give your birds the optimum levels of nutrition throughout the warmer months. During these months we need to consider growth and performance of the birds to ensure efficient feeding programmes are in place to achieve optimum results in both productivity and profitability.
ABN broiler feeds contain high levels of vitamins and trace elements to promote good health, carcass quality and help maintain performance. These levels of vitamins and trace elements can help to support the birds when faced with stress or disease challenge by stimulating the immune response.
Our own trials have demonstrated a benefit from using specific products such as HyD and a yeast-based probiotic. HyD is included in some starter and grower feeds as it is reported to assist leg strength, thereby improving welfare. The yeast-based prebiotic we use is reported to help performance by promoting the immune response and improving gut health and structure.
We have invested in fundamental research to establish the optimum amino acid requirements of the modern broiler and to select the most effective enzymes to improve digestibility. Optimum amino acid levels give good growth rates whilst high energy levels maintain feed efficiency. The right dietary balance between nutrients supports good litter conditions, promoting footpad and hock quality.
NSP (wheat/barley) and phytase enzymes help improve the digestibility of the feed; this reduces excretion by the bird, improving litter conditions and helping the environment.
To make life easier for our customers, ABN’s flexible range of feeds and feeding programmes will meet any processing requirements concerning thinning and the final kill plan. We can utilise crop parameters to produce a feed plan and order schedule for whole farms and the individual houses. This service assists producers in planning and ordering feed deliveries.
