Broiler Hens

Strengthening player competitiveness in the broiler industry

Mixscience’s Broiler teams are dedicated to supporting stakeholders in the industry in a rapidly changing environment. Our goal is to sustainably improve the competitiveness of farms while promoting the well-being of both the farmer and the animals. In a fast-evolving market, which is subject to increasing technical, social and environmental demands, we help our customers make the right strategic and operational decisions.

Addressing the challenges and supporting the transformation of the broiler industry

Our role is clear: to help each of our clients establish a strong position in their competitive environment and adapt to market changes through innovative and scientifically proven solutions.

  • Optimize efficiency in feed: nutritional expertise to maximize technical and economic performance.
  • Support the management of livestock production systems: exploring new livestock models, building management, and strain selection (fast-growing, intermediate, and slow-growing genetics).
  • Support for animal health: prevention of pododermatitis, bedding management, hygiene, and biosecurity.
  • Address social expectations: reducing environmental impacts (CO₂, nitrogen, phosphorus), improved rearing conditions (alternative models, free-range), litter comfort, quality of finished products (meat quality, fillet yield, pigmentation), reduced use of medication.

Bringing together scientific innovation, field expertise and a long‑term vision, our teams—driven by their passion for agriculture—help develop high‑performing, competitive farming systems.

Mixscience expertise: supporting the growth and transformation of industry sectors

Mixscience supports a wide range of customers in France and internationally with a local, tailored and adapted approach.

Our experience and expertise allow us to support customers with a wide range of needs and to adapt to diverse contexts and markets— environmental conditions (hot, humid, tropical climates), available resources (local raw materials), diversity of livestock systems (species, replace with production specifications).

  • Structuring of emerging sectors in developing countries seeking greater food self-sufficiency (Madagascar, Mozambique, Angola, etc.): construction of a feed mill, nutrition management (feed program), technical development of farms, and utilization of byproducts (milling).
  • Supporting existing programs currently undergoing structuring and consolidation.
  • Guiding sectoral transitions: reducing medication, nutrition management, diversification of production methods.
  • Development of advanced scientific concepts to meet the demands of high-requirements markets.

On the field with farmers and animals

Farm visits are the cornerstone of our approach. Being out in the field on a regular basis allows us to maintain a direct connection with the farmers and their animals and to assess farming conditions.

Monitoring and control of farming conditions

  • Eating habits
  • Food presentation and consumption
  • Rest, light intensity, and sources of stress
  • Preventive measures, disease prevention, and biosecurity
  • Biosecurity and protection of the farm environment

Cette immersion nous permet d’établir des diagnostics précis et d’ajuster l’adéquation entre l’aliment, la conduite d’élevage et les objectifs de performance.

Our role as nutritionists in optimizing performance

Feedback from the field enables our teams to provide customers with tailored nutritional standards. Supported by our nutritional modeling tools, we are ideally positioned to provide solutions adapted to the client’s situation and production goals. These tools enable us to accurately assess how nutrition affects performance, predict animal’ response to feed, and measure the impact of each nutritional strategy on growth and net yield. Our nutritional approach is expressed through a comprehensive, dynamic, and precise formulation matrix, backed by solid prediction equations derived from in vitro (Mixscience Research Center) and in vivo (Innolab) trials.

Addressing the challenges facing broiler production systems

Poultry welfare

Ensuring the welfare of broiler chickens involves controlling pododermatitis, which is now considered one of the most reliable indicators of animal comfort. Preventing this issue is key to reducing nutritional imbalances, improving digestive comfort, and ensuring optimal bedding quality.

Product quality

Meeting production and quality requirements involves supporting the supply chains in meeting the standards in the specifications (Label Rouge, ECC chicken). For Mixscience, this means selecting suitable strains, adjusting stock density in the farm, enriching the living environment of broiler chickens, and controlling pigmentation to meet the expectations of consumers or slaughterhouses, while maintaining competitiveness.

Supporting the transition away from medication

Set up technical and nutritional conditions to enhance animals’ resistance to health challenges: adapt hygiene practices (bedding, disinfection of buildings), support the maturation of the immune system, and develop preventive practices to reduce the use of antibiotics.
