Mating ability is a major issue with broiler breeder males under natural mating. The weight and nutrient requirements should be carefully balanced. In India 95% of the 40 million breeders are in cages under artificial insemination. Mating ability is a non issue. We get astonishing fertility of 95% at the age of 60+ weeks with 7% males. The eggs are absolutely clean and we end up with 85% and above hatch over total eggs set even after 60 weeks.
