Broiler Performance & Nutrition

T his supplement presents broiler performance and yield targets for your Cobb500
broilers, together with recommendations on nutritional specifications designed to
help achieve these targets.

Broiler performance varies from country to country. The growth rates shown are the
targets for achieving cost-efficient performance.

The performance objectives in this supplement are displayed in both metric and imperial
configurations.

Please contact your local Cobb technical representative to help develop a program
designed specifically to suit your own local conditions based on the advice and
information contained in this supplement and the main Cobb Broiler Management Guide.

Today’s broiler farmers not only want to raise broilers that grow efficiently, but also want
broilers that have good livability and good animal welfare characteristics. Cobb’s dedication
for broiler genetics has generated incredible advances in economic traits related to feed
efficiency, growth and muscle quality, and has also produced broiler genetics with
improved cardiovascular function, better skeletal strength, and more uniform body size.

Yield Performance
Meat yield is dependent on many factors, but those that have the most influence are
weight, age and nutrition.

Weight
• Carcass and breast meat yield increase as a function of live weight at any given age.

Live weight (g)

The graph above is a representative sample of percent breast meat yield (hot yields) for birds from a single flock of as-hatched
broilers processed at 48 days.

Feed, Yield, and Economics

• Cobb data has shown that protein and amino acids can be elevated by approximately
8 percent for the purpose of increasing breast meat yield, although higher feed cost
per unit of live weight may be a secondary result.

• For the most economical feed per unit of live weight, lower amino acids may be more
applicable, although slower growth rate and higher FCR may be a secondary result.

• The exact overall levels of amino acids should be determined by ingredient prices and
finished product values (from the processing plant).

• The Cobb500 is a flexible broiler that can bring good costs from low amino acid
density feeds, or will respond with accelerated growth and breast yield using high
amino acid levels.

• Cobb Technical Service will gladly assist customers to match specific economic
priorities with formulation; however, the recommendations in this supplement represent
very sound overall baseline levels.
