Conclusions

Research on feeding complexed trace minerals to broilers breeders and other poultry has proven it to be an effective and economical way to improve performance. Feeding complexed zinc, manganese and copper to broiler breeders has been shown to increase egg production, egg size and improve eggshell quality, improve hatchability and fertility, increase cellular, humoral and maternal immunity, reduce footpad lesions, increase the total number of chicks produced per hen and improve chick quality. Availa-ZMC is a profitable tool for broiler breeder flocks.
