Arbor Acres Plus S - slow feathering

Introduction
This booklet contains the performance objectives for the and Arbor Acres Plus S parent stock (slow
feathering) and should be used in conjunction with the Arbor Acres Parent Stock Management
Handbook.

Performance
Poultry production is a global activity, but across the world there are differing management strategies
adapted to local conditions.
These performance objectives are for birds that receive the first light stimulation after 21 weeks
(147 days) of age. This is the most common strategy used worldwide as it gives distinct advantages
in early egg size, chick number and broiler chick quality. If flocks reach 5-10% production prior to 25
weeks of age early egg size will be reduced, resulting in smaller chicks. In managing this, the timing
of photostimulation is key.
Achieving the genetic potential of the birds depends on:
Management to provide birds with their required environment.
A dietary regime that provides the appropriate nutrients.
Effective biosecurity and disease control.
If any one of these elements is sub-optimal, performance will suffer. The three sectors, environment,
nutrition and health, are also interdependent; a problem in any one will result in a negative response
by the bird to the other factors.
Data contained within this booklet indicates the performance that can be achieved under good
management and environmental conditions and when feeding the recommended nutrient levels.
They should therefore be regarded as Performance Objectives and not specifications. In practice,
variations in performance may occur for a wide variety of reasons. For example, feed consumption
can be affected significantly by form of feed, energy level and house temperature.
While every attempt has been made to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information
presented, Aviagen accepts no liability for the consequences of using this information to manage
parent stock.
All weight measurements are shown in both metric and imperial to reflect the global nature of this
publication. All imperial measurements are shown in blue.
In the tables, values are rounded. This may result in small inaccuracies when using the objectives to
calculate other performance statistics.
For more information on the management of Arbor Acres stock, please contact your local Arbor Acres
representative.

North of Equator:
Flocks hatched AugustDecember.
South of the Equator:
Flocks hatched
February-June.
January and July are
transitional months
so lighting programs
for placements during
these two months
should be based on
individual experience
and location.

*Based on recommend
dietary energy levels of
a 2- or 3-stage rearing
program (2800 kcal ME/
kg; 1270 kcal ME/lb).
Adjustments must be
made to reflect feeding
differing energy levels.
NOTES
Weekly body-weight gain
beyond 35 weeks (245
days) should average
approximately 15 g (0.030.04 lb).
Body weights are based on
a feed day, 4-6 hours after
feeding.
Feed quantities are given
as a guide. Birds should
be fed the amount of feed
they need to achieve the
body-weight target curve.

North of Equator:
Flocks hatched
February-June.
South of the Equator:
Flocks hatched AugustDecember.
January and July are
transitional months
so lighting programs
for placements during
these two months
should be based on
individual experience
and location.

*Based on recommend
dietary energy levels of
a 2- or 3-stage rearing
program (2800 kcal ME/
kg; 1270 kcal ME/lb).
Adjustments must be
made to reflect feeding
differing energy levels.
NOTES
Weekly body-weight gain
beyond 36 weeks (245
days) should average
approximately 15 g (0.030.04 lb).
Body weights are based on
a feed day, 4-6 hours after
feeding.
Feed quantities are given
as a guide. Birds should
be fed the amount of feed
they need to achieve the
body-weight target curve.

*Daily energy and feed intakes are based on current recommended dietary levels of energy (2800 kcal ME/kg; 1270 kcal ME/lb) and assuming an ambient
temperature of 20-21C (68-70F).
NOTES
Feeding programs should be adjusted according to actual feed intake at 5% hen-day production. It may be necessary to adjust feed amounts daily (rather
than every 5% as given in the table), taking into account the rate of daily production. Adjustments to feed amounts will need to be made if dietary energy
levels are different to those recommended or if environmental temperatures are warmer or cooler than assumed here.

*Based on recommended
dietary energy levels of a 2or 3-stage rearing program
(2800 kcal ME/kg; 1270 kcal
ME/lb) and a male diet in lay
(2700 kcal ME/kg; 1225 kcal
ME/lb). Adjustments must
be made to reflect feeding
differing energy levels.
NOTES
Weekly body-weight gain
beyond 29 weeks (203
days) should average
approximately 25-30 grams
(0.05-0.07 lb). This profile
allows the male to reach
sexual maturity by first
egg. Field performance has
shown that this practice
ensures that the body
condition of the males is not
compromised so they will
maintain the best possible
fertility levels.
Feed quantities are a guide
only. Actual feed levels
will depend on the energy
value of individual rations.
The feed allowance should
increase in the lay period
and never decrease.
Body weights are based on
a feed day, 4-6 hours after
feeding.
