A: The Guangming No.2 broiler breeder line has similar nutritional requirements to other breeds. Body weight should be managed according to the Shandong Guangming Poultry Breeding Manual:
· Target body weight at 24 weeks: 3,150–3,230 g to ensure normal onset of lay and a strong production peak.
· As Guangming No.2 starts laying early, light stimulation and nest training should also begin earlier.
· Male birds should weigh 1,200 g at 6 weeks, which promotes good shank development and enables a peak fertility rate above 94%.

A: Guangming No.2 reaches sexual maturity earlier (5% egg production by the end of week 24) and maintains a long and stable production peak (≥80% egg production for up to 20 weeks under customer conditions). Overall reproductive and production performance is superior to other breeds.
A: Before light stimulation, Guangming No.2 breeders should meet the following criteria:
1. Pubic bone spacing: greater than two fingers (≈4 cm).
2. Breast conformation score: ≥3.5 for at least 95% of birds.
3. Abdominal fat deposition: observed in ≥95% of birds.
A: Guangming No.2 commercial broilers exhibit strong disease resistance and rapid growth. Under low-energy, low-protein feeding programs, the feed conversion ratio (FCR) is better than other breeds. Under high-energy, high-protein programs, the FCR is within 0.03 of the world’s leading performance standards.
