Limit Food Waste in Broiler Production

Limiting feed waste in slow-growing broilers improves feed conversion and reduces environmental impact. This good practice uses well-maintained, spillage-reducing feeders adjusted for bird age, controlled feeding routines, and real-time growth monitoring via automatic scales. A Label Rouge farmer employs Multibeck feeders, manual feeding in early stages, and precise transitions between feed types. Reusing second-hand equipment cuts costs, achieving a one-year payback and saving 4–5 tons of feed annually. These consistent, low-cost measures enhance bird performance and support sustainable, efficient production.
