Every flock of broilers or layers holds potential. Genetic potential to be exact. But achieving an optimal performance is entirely dependent upon who’s driving.
F1 driving is one of the most extreme performance-led physical feedback loops.
Performed at such high speeds, the timeframes that drivers have to adjust their steer and speed are a fraction of fractional.
Stakes are high and damage severity, equally so.
Great driving leads to near-flawless run, exhibiting the best the car can deliver.
Poor driving produces a slew of mistakes, that results in a gross waste of engineering potential.
The same can be said of poultry farming.
In the example case of Cobb 500 broilers the ability of the birds to x5 their body weight in the 1st 7 days of life is akin to a modern F1 race car achieving 0-60mph in 1.6 seconds.
A fast and indeed furious rate.
However, if handled anything but professionally, the tailspin that awaits is a complete loss of business and being knocked off your financial course.
The key success factors in both cases are:
- Reading: knowing how each variable affects the outcome e.g. ventilation, feed composition etc.
- Strategy: planning your best route to success e.g. poultry project report
- Decision making: real-time judgments and action that lead to optimal outcomes e.g. adjusting heat, lighting, space, feed, sanitation.
- Practice: repetitive runs that sharpen the senses and exposure to mistakes that teach improvements e.g. rearing cycles.
- Reflexes: an instinctive handle for what to do and when to do it with minimal thought
Master the above and your chances of getting the best out of your apparatus and achieving potential are good.
