More and better chicks

The S-line provides higher

chick output by assuring a bio-
secured environment, higher
hatch performance and high
uniformity of day-old chicks.
This leads to more revenue
for your hatchery. The high
uniformity lowers post-hatch
mortality, results in lower feed
conversion ratios and increases
the efficiency in the meat
