Broiler breeder paradox: a project report [PDF]
A first product of this European project was a tool for scoring chick quality. A link was established between chick quality and embryonic physiological parameters such as heat production. Eggs from broiler breeders that give rise to rapidly growing broilers have a different embryonic development that may need modified incubation conditions.

Antimicrobial resistance monitoring of commensal Enterococcus faecalis in broiler breeders
Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) has rapidly acquired resistance to multiple antimicrobials, and the antimicrobial resistance of E. faecalis from broiler breeders has been implicated in its vertical transmission to their offspring.

Copper requirements of broiler breeder hens
One-hundred-twenty Cobb 500 hens, 20 wk of age, were randomly allocated into individual cages with the objective of estimating Cu requirements. After being fed a Cu deficient diet for 4 wk, hens were fed diets with graded increments of supplemental Cu (0.0; 3.5; 7.0; 10.5; 14; and 17.5 ppm) from Cu sulfate (CuSO4 5H2O), totaling 2.67; 5.82; 9.38; 12.92;

Zinc requirements of broiler breeder hens
One hundred and twenty Cobb 500 hens, 20 wk of age, were randomly allocated into individual cages with the objective of estimating their Zn requirements. The study was composed of 3 phases: adaptation to cages (basal diet), depletion (deficient diet containing 18.7 ± 0.47 ppm Zn) for 7 wk, and experimental phases.

The Vitamin D3 Requirement of Broiler Breeders
An experiment was conducted with 25- to 66-wk-old Ross broiler breeders in an environment excluding ultraviolet light to determine the cholecalciferol (D3) requirements for hen day egg production; hatchability; body weight of the progeny at 1 d; embryo mortality during the early (1 to 10 d of incubation), middle (11 to 15 d of incubation), and late ...

Manganese requirements of broiler breeder hens
The present research was conducted to assess Mn requirements of broiler breeder hens. One hundred and twenty Cobb 500 hens, 22 wk of age, were individually allocated in cages. After fed a Mn-deficient diet (22.2 ppm), hens were randomly placed in treatments having 6 increments of 30-ppm Mn. All trace minerals were from laboratory grade sources being Mn
