Q: What key management considerations should be taken when raising Guangming No.2 compared with other breeds?

A: Nutritional requirements are similar to other broiler lines. Body weight should be managed according to Guangming’s feeding manual to ensure normal onset of lay and strong peak performance. As Guangming No.2 begins laying earlier, lighting programs and nest-training should also be initiated earlier. Male body weight should be controlled at 1,200 g at 6 weeks, promoting proper shank development and supporting a peak fertility rate above 94%.

Q: What are the main advantages of Guangming No.2 parent stock compared with other breeds?

A: Earlier onset of lay (5% hen-day egg production by the end of week 24), longer stable peak (over 80% production maintained for 20 weeks in customer farms), and overall superior productivity.

Q: What key indicators should Guangming No.2 breeding birds achieve before lighting?

A: Pubic bones should open to more than 2 fingers (4 cm).

Over 95% should achieve a breast conformation score of 3.5.

Over 95% should show adequate abdominal fat deposition.

Q: How do Guangming No.2 commercial broilers perform in production?

A: They demonstrate strong disease resistance and rapid growth. Under low-energy, low-protein diets, FCR is superior to other breeds. Under high-energy, high-protein diets, FCR is within 0.03 of leading global breeds.

Q: What technical services does Guangming Biological provide during breeding?

A: Services include chick placement guidance, early disease monitoring at 5 weeks, developmental evaluation at 19 weeks with recommendations, flock assessment at 22 weeks with follow-up feeding and lighting programs, and feed adjustments at around 40 weeks based on flock status. Technical support staff respond quickly to solve any issues throughout the production cycle.
