Optimal feeding of broiler breeders to produce vital broilers

Excellent chick quality is of importance for the proper start-up of a flock of broilers. This already starts during the formation of the egg and the embryo in the broiler breeder. As soon as the hatching egg is laid, all of the nutrients needed for the embryo to develop until hatch, must be present. The broiler breeder itself and its nutrition play an important role in this regard. De Heus, in cooperation with Wageningen University & Research, recently initiated an extensive long-term study of the influence of the broiler breeder’s nutrition on chick quality.

Sanna Jordens - Integrity & Compliance Manager

Every country in which De Heus operates has its own cultural values. This produces complex and interesting issues. Which is exactly what Sanna enjoys. Sanna loves challenges and sees in everything a possibility to reflect on what can be improved. "I am fascinated by people's behaviour, why they do what they do and what drives them. Once you know what motivates someone, you know how best to approach them and what you need to do - if necessary - to change that behaviour."

Rearing calves when the seasons get difficult

Calf rearing deserves extra attention in zones that are known for warm summers and cold, humid winters. Calves are particularly sensitive to various diseases when it gets cold, including gastrointestinal disorders, lung disorders, runny noses, coughing and the flu.
