The Cobb commitment to genetic improvement of Cobb line of products continues to increase the performance potential in all areas of broiler and broiler breeder production. However, to attain both genetic potential and consistent flock production, it is important that the flock manager has a good management program in place.

The success of the Cobb and Avian lines of broiler breeders worldwide have provided considerable experience of the breed in a wide range of situations: hot and cold climates, controlled environment and open housing.

The Cobb management guides are designed to assist you in building your management program. Management must not only meet the basic needs of the stock but must also be finely tuned to benefit fully from the breed's potential. Some of the guidelines may need to be adapted locally according to your own experience, and our technical teams will assist with this.

The Cobb management guides highlight critical factors that are most likely to influence flock performance and are part of our technical information service, which includes the Cobb Parent and Grandparent Breeder, Hatchery and Broiler Management Guides, Technical Bulletins and a full range of performance charts.

Our recommendations are based on current scientific knowledge and practical experience around the world. You should be aware of local legislation, which may influence the management practice that you choose to adopt.

The Cobb management guides are intended as a reference and supplement to your own flock management skills so that you can apply your knowledge and judgment to obtain consistently good results with the full line of Cobb products.
