ROSS 308 PARENT STOCK: Nutrition Specification
Introduction
This booklet contains the nutrition specifications for Ross 308 Parent Stock and is to
be used with the Ross 308 Parent Stock Management Manual.
Performance
To achieve optimal reproductive performance, it is important that the bodyweight
profiles recommended in the Ross Parent Stock Performance Objectives are followed.
For the nutritional recommendations that follow, nutrient specifications presented
have been based upon daily energy allocations that enable bodyweight profiles to
be achieved.
These are global recommendations. The specifications are therefore presented
in two sections, recognising two distinct strategies for breeder management which
can be summarised as:
Section 1
To have 5% production at 25 weeks of age, with first light

stimulation after 21 weeks (147 days +)
OR
Section 2

stimulation before 21 weeks (up to 146 days of age)
The former is the most common strategy worldwide and is described in Section 1
of this booklet. Section 2 describes the strategy to achieve 5% production at 23
weeks of age.
The feed specifications are based on either a 2-stage or 4-stage rearing programme.
In areas where the first light stimulation occurs after 21 weeks of age, it is usual for
a 2-stage rearing programme to be used.
In areas where the first light stimulation occurs before 21 weeks of age, it is common
to use a 4-stage programme, but this could also be used when the first light stimulation
occurs after 21 weeks of age.
Feed specifications and feed allocations have been produced for the two strategies,
based on set energy values of 2800 kcal/kg and 2600 kcal/kg.
It must be remembered that these are examples and adjustments to nutrient
inclusion will have to be made if energy value is altered. Feed allocation should
be determined by bodyweight and therefore altered to maintain the recommended
weight profile.
We recommend that you use the specifications which best relate to your
production strategy.
It may be beneficial to use a specific male feed during the production period.
An example specification can be found on page 12 of this booklet.
The local Nutrition Service Manager or Technical Service Manager should
be consulted for more specialised situations and for advice on local markets.
