Early on in the growing cycle (0-21 days of age) birds can be weighed in bulk. Routine accurate estimates of average bulk body weight allow:

• Live flock performance to be accurately monitored
• Possible performance issues to be identified quickly
• House environment, lighting and feeding programmes to be adjusted
• Defined end product specifications to be as closely met as possible.
