This study quantifies how dynamic feed adjustment improves feed conversion ratio (FCR) in broiler production. Dynamic adjustment tailors daily feed amounts to match real-time bird weight and intake patterns, unlike fixed feeding schedules.
A 35-day trial on 10,000 Ross 308 broilers compared dynamic adjustment (sensor‑based, every 2–4 hours) with conventional fixed feeding. Results showed that dynamic adjustment reduced FCR from 1.64 to 1.51, an improvement of 0.13 (7.9%). Feed waste dropped from 8.2% to 2.2%, and final body weight increased from 1.85 kg to 2.05 kg.
Regression analysis revealed that each 1% reduction in feed waste correlated with a 0.018 improvement in FCR. The precision of dynamic feeding reduced overfeeding during late stages and underfeeding during early growth. Consequently, FCR optimization directly lowers feed costs, which account for 60–70% of total production expenses. Dynamic adjustment offers a measurable, cost‑effective tool for broiler farms.

Comparison of Disease Risks in Open-Sided and Closed Poultry Houses under El Niño–Induced Precipitation Extremes
During El Niño events, heavy rainfall or prolonged drought alter housing microclimates, affecting disease risks differently in open-sided and closed poultry houses. In open-sided houses, heavy rainfall increases litter moisture and ammonia levels, promoting coccidiosis and pododermatitis. Dry conditions increase airborne dust, irritating the respiratory tract and increasing the incidence of colibacillosis. Closed houses with…

Impact of El Niño on Poultry Immunity and Vaccination Programs in Temperate and Tropical Regions
El Niño events cause abnormal temperature and humidity fluctuations, which directly affect poultry immune responses. In tropical zones, prolonged heat and humidity can suppress vaccine efficacy by increasing stress hormone levels and reducing antibody production. In temperate regions, sudden warming or unseasonable cold may disrupt the stability of vaccine storage and administration, leading to uneven…
