Production organization manager
Context
With rapid genetic progress, poultry performance is constantly improving. To fully capture this potential, nutritionists must look beyond nutrient supply alone: they must also consider how animal respond to the physical characteristics of the feed and regularly update their technical benchmarks.
The particle size of a mash or the diameter of a pellet plays a key role, directly influencing feed intake and therefore growth. The grinding quality of the mash before pelleting affects digestibility, on‑farm performance and digestive health.
- TEC+ supports feed mills and integrators in analyzing the strengths and limitations of their industrial equipment, helping them define the best technical orientations to enhance poultry performance.
Deliverables
- Raising factory operator awareness about poultry needs : feeding behavior and feed presentation
- Auditing feed presentation in the factory and on farm: grinding, crumb size, durability
- Identifying improvement opportunities and actionable levers in the factory
- Steering the selected actions: dashboard implementation, control plan monitoring, performance analysis
Key features
Specific standards by species and physiological stage
Definition of precise benchmarks for feed presentation and pre‑pelleting grinding, continuous updated through research conducted at the MRC experimental center and across a network of dedicated trial farms.
Support grounded in field experience
Monitoring of more than 50 feed mills: TEC+ approach combines field feedback and benchmarking to identify concrete improvement levers in factories.
Strengthened coordination between farm and factory
Facilitating collaboration between zootechnicians and factory operators to align on‑farm performance with industrial productivity, ensuring all stakeholders work toward a shared goal of overall performance.
