The Chloride Requirement of the Broiler Breeder Hen
Poultry Science, 1984 An experiment was conducted to determine the chloride requirement of broiler breeder hens fed a corn soybean meal diet. Levels of .135 and .09% (daily intake of 208 and 139 mg) supplemental chloride were required for maximum egg production and egg weight, respectively. However, a supplemental level of .135% was required to maximize hatchability.

Body Composition of the Broiler-Breeder Pullet
Poultry Science, 1990 Broiler breeder pullets were reared on a standard breeder-grower diet in accordance with breeder recommendations to 10 wk of age, with samples of the birds being selected for carcass analysis at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 wk of age. At 10 wk of age, 264 pullets were assigned to one of three diets formulated to contain 15% CP and to provide 2,550, 2,800
