A 2.0 kg broiler chicken in 25 days is the prediction of Brazilian scientists by the end of 2023

All the best...... it's very very difficult to achieve

Considering that body weight should increase around a third over the one predicted by the Cobb table, which already presupposes a very good development, this prediction seems a bit far off.

I agree with my colleagues that this prediction is far away from the real life, once we are already in 2023 and we are not seeing this in practical conditions. Maybe, there is a mistake with the year of 2023. Can be 2032?

Greetings Dr Álvaro and Dr Mario, some producers in New Zealand have exceeded the Cobb chart many years ago, I also agree that it is a very foolhardy prediction. a cordial greeting

Dear Dr. Paniagua. Thanks for the comment. Indeed, some producers can get to the same or even a somewhat higher BW than the one predicted in the manual, including here in Brazil. I believe these are the ones that are doing almost everything right, as mentioned in the article. Kind regards.

At present the standards are 2.0kg in 32days. The genetic progress aimed at and practical is reduction of age by 0.75days per generation ie per year. At this rate achieving 2kg in 25days should be possible by 2032. Definitely not by end of 2023. Welfare people are in favor of slow growing broilers.

I am from Pakistan five year ago we get 2kg 35 days And 50 kg beg maximum 34 far Now a day shortage of grain and soybeans we gain 28 fcr per begs and 2 kg weight 40 to 42 days Feed rate very high and feed and dairy wanda rate 100% increase and quality very poor Mostly sheads close business due to losses
