Group Description
As we know, poultry production systems are continually evolving. One of the primary causes that determines feeding and nutrition is the improvement made in the genetic potential of poultry birds ( both broilers and layers) and this is done to harness the best potential in the shortest period and with best efficiencies. There are many other factors that have a bearing on feeding and nutrition and some of them are driven by consumers, societal needs, and to cater to the production of specialized poultry products. In some cases, feeding and nutritional may also be determined by government regulations, cost of production, access to desired raw materials and other environmental concerns.
As members of the poultry community – we represent different global regions and different scenarios that control feeding and nutrition, and your experiences will be useful for every member in the community. We feel that knowledge shared on this platform will be useful to all in either improving operations, gaining on production or for taking corrective actions. Come, join this interest group, and share your experiences and views.

Dwarf broiler parent’ means a parent chicken which is small in size.

Parent stocks are selected for their ability to produce quality eggs and chicks efficiently.

In commercial poultry production, broiler parent stock refers to the specific breed or genetic line of chickens that produce fertile eggs, which hatch into broiler chicks for meat production. Common broiler parent lines are hybrids developed by major breeding companies, focusing on traits such as rapid growth, feed efficiency, and high meat yield. Some popular broiler parent lines include:
1. Cobb 500 (from Cobb-Vantress)
2. Ross 308 and Ross 708 (from Aviagen)
3. Hubbard Classic, Hubbard Flex, and others (from Hubbard)
4. Arbor Acres (also from Aviagen)In ) .

Example of the parent stock are the Cobb 500 and Ross 308
-
Broiler parent stock are specially selected chickens used primarily for breeding purposes. They are bred with the specific goal of producing fertilised eggs, which will hatch into the fast-growing commercial broilers raised for meat production.
-
Broiler parent stock are raised in carefully controlled conditions to ensure their health and productivity. The reproductive performance of parent stock is critical because it directly influences the quantity and quality of broilers available for meat production.
-
In commercial broiler production, broiler breeder parents are used to produce chicks. These breeders are specialized crossbred chickens developed for high productivity, combining traits like fast growth, efficient feed conversion, and meat quality.

Parent stocks are selected for their ability to produce quality eggs and chicks efficiently.

Hubbard classic, Cobb-500, Hybro-PN, Hybro-PG, and Ross
