Genetic improvements in fast-growing chicken breeds will need more attention in nutrition, which comes with a cost. At the launch of the partnership between Zeus Biotech India and Hayleys Agro in Sri Lanka, Dr Chin How Cheong, Poultry and Veterinary Consultant, stressed that modern breeders need more care. These birds also have high heat dissipation that must be managed, even in closed houses. “You need to ask if your closed house is being managed properly. In Asia, humidity can kill even at lower temperatures.”
