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

Important data:
Cobb Chicken: 500
Weight at birth: 42 gr
Weight at 25 days: 2000 gr
Average daily weight gain: 78.32 gr
Dr. Jovanir Inés Muller Fernandes, associate professor at the UFPR Palotina campus, in her lecture "Strategy and recommendations for levels and sources of vitamins and minerals for broilers" (DSM webinar), predicts a broiler weight target of 2.0 kg for broilers by the end of 2023.
The poultry sector has excellent state-of-the-art technology to achieve this extraordinary goal:
- Fast and accurate analysis of ingredients with NIR (Nutrients, Mycotoxin, fats and oils)
- Immense research of nutritional requirements under different environmental conditions.
- Sufficient genetic potential.
- High precision non-linear formulation software.
- Precision nutrition with multi-site NIR just-in-time.
- Mechanistic simulation models represent a promising tool for nutritionists to maximize yield and profitability in production by simultaneously considering genetic, environmental and nutritional factors to establish nutrient requirements, predict growth and yield under different conditions.
- Pellet quality and particle size contribute to the improved growth rate in broilers.
- Gut and bone health are very important.
- Well-tuned management and sanitary program.
In conclusion, every gram of feed ingested by a broiler should be converted into meat with the highest efficiency.

We all make mistakes no big deal

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

We must redesign the growth curve for a 2.00 kg chicken in 25 days

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
