Industry analysts predict that the global demand for chicken meat will increase by 85 percent between 2000 and 2050. Poultry breeding continually applies ingenuity and the latest science for the betterment of birds, farmers and their communities, consumers, and the environment. One of the many examples of how we are making a significant and verifiable impact on our world is through innovative research and development techniques such as feed conversion ratio (FCR) selection. Using feed stations and state-of-the-art transponder and weighing technologies to look at the feeding behavior of individual birds during their entire lifetimes, we can significantly enhance genetic selection for a balanced breeding process, and promoting the vitality of our birds. The recorded feeding data helps improve feed efficiency in chickens, which brings greater economic and environmental sustainability. Environmental and social sustainability are poultry production virtues that members of the breeding community take pride in.
