Feature Description Breed Ross 308 AP Purpose Fast-growing broilers with low-cost production and high meat yield Hatchability High, depending on flock management and environmental factors Feathering Feather-sexable, simplifying broiler management Egg Quality Stable dimensions and good hatchability across different flock ages Breeder Age Effect Older breeders tend to produce larger eggs with better hatchability Ross 308 AP broiler eggs are specifically designed for producing cost-effective and uniform broilers in commercial meat production. Known for their efficient growth rates and adaptability, they are widely used in the poultry industry for their high productivity and economic benefits. Hatchability and Feather-Sexing One of the distinguishing features of Ross 308 AP broiler eggs is their high hatchability, optimized through good breeder management. The feather-sexable trait further simplifies the management of broiler flocks, enhancing productivity by allowing for easier gender differentiation at an early stage . Impact of Flock Age on Egg Characteristics The performance of the Ross 308 AP eggs, including hatchability and egg size, improves as the breeding flock matures. Eggs from older breeders typically exhibit larger sizes and better hatch rates, making flock management a critical factor in achieving optimal outcomes. Egg Quality and Stability Ross 308 AP eggs maintain consistent quality across different stages of the breederâ??s life cycle. Stable egg dimensions and a relatively low weight loss during incubation contribute to their excellent hatching performance.
