Interchick broilers are reared for meat production. The Broilers are robust fast-growing birds with high feed efficiency hence low cost of production. Due to high standards of breeder management, the chicks have a high level of immunity and therefore very low mortality. The broilers have the following qualities:
- Age at slaughter > 35 days
- Live weight at 35 days > 1.75kg
- Mortality > 5 to 6%
- Feed conversion ratio (FCR) > 1.9 to 2.0
- Total feed to slaughter > 3.5kg
