The future of poultry genetic improvement is bright
Date postedAugust 30, 2024
Genetics have improved significantly across all sectors of agriculture over the last few decades, from feed ingredients, to cotton production and in animal agriculture, especially in the broiler industry, explained genetics company Cobb Research and Development Vice President William Herring at the 2024 Chicken Marketing Summit.
“We're becoming more efficient. We're doing more with less resources,” he stated. “I don't think there's any end in sight to genetic progress or genetic change. We don't see that across agriculture anywhere, and we certainly don't see it in broiler genetics.”
