Fishmeal could be part of solution to hatchability decline in broiler breeders
Adding fishmeal into the diets of broiler breeder roosters could improve egg hatchability, North Carolina State University research suggests.

A drop in USDA’s broiler chicken hatchability rates from 85% to less than 80% in the past decade runs counter to the poultry industry’s improvements in production efficiency, but making just a small improvement in hatchability can create significant economic benefits.
