500 eggs in one cycle! Dream or
reality??
Genetic
Crystal-Nick vs Nick-Chick
Managment (rearing and production)
Water and Feed
Market Needs
Low potential for volume growth in Europe and North
America
Significant increase in China, India and Latin America
Focussing on a maximum utilisation of the genetic
potential to provide high quality protein at competitive
prices (taking into account the consumer preferences
and public opinion)
Target of breeding
Continuous increase in
Length of production period
Saleable number of eggs per hen housed
by means of extended laying sequences and long-
lasting good shell quality and continuous
improvement in liveability
Selection for lifetime performances
I II III IV
More persistent rate of lay
More persistent shell quality
More persistent internal egg quality
Layers are able to achieve…
Every day an egg with an intact eggshell
Clutches of 80 to 100 eggs for more than 50 %
of the layers
Just one day off in between two clutches
Balanced behaviour
High adaptability to different environmental
impacts
Performances of pure line layers
more than three quarters of the hens having a laying performance of more than 95 % up to 52 weeks of age!
Up to 44 % of the hens show laying sequences of 63 eggs and more!
3 % of the hens lay a saleable egg every day!

Breeding – Selection for Egg Quality
External egg quality: Shell quality
emphasis on persistency measurement of breaking strength
measurement of Resonant Frequency: Crack Detector
subjective evaluation of shell texture
Shell colour: uniform dark brown and white shells
Internal egg quality: haugh units, albumen height
yolk %
inclusions: low frequency of blood-meat spots
New traits and recording
technologies
Dynamic stiffness and breaking strength
Shape of the beak
Comb size
More genetic progress from genomics
Persistency in lay: +25%
Persistency in shell stability: +15%
Feed efficiency: +20%
Internal egg quality: +5%
Livability: +15%
In addition:
More progress from larger testing/housing capacity
+ 25% for all traits
Increased profitability
Performance-related feed intake
(good intake at start, not excessive at the end)
Flexible nutrient requirements
(no need for special high density diets)
High rate of lay / prolonged production cycle
Strong shells until the end of cycle
Good social behaviour
Future Developments
The longer the laying cycle, the lower production
costs for each egg
Eggshell stability determines the production period
Marketable eggs from each hen housed
Selection and feeding for eggshell stability
complement each other
Should genetic prerequisites be unavailable, feed
can only provide limited assistance
Breeding target
„Vital and docile layers with stable plumage,
strong bones and performance-based feed
consumption laying an egg with a robust
shell EVERY DAY“

Strategic trends in poultry breeding
Animal welfare is an important part of the movement
towards more sustainable factors in the society combined
with other positive values
Several EU retailers are using animal welfare in their
advertising campaigns and promotional material to
differentiate themselves from competitors
(Corporate Responsibility Programmes)
Free-range eggs of non-beak
trimmed hens
Our delicious, brown-shelled eggs are always from free to roam hens
raised on happy egg free range farms. We never use antibiotics or
hormones, and we give our girls a vegetarian feed to complement their
pasture-foraged diet. Be sure to pick up a package today at one of our
many locations.
Trends
Breeders have to assess future market needs
- at least 5 years in advance
Housing
Beak treatment
Availability of feed components
Sex determination
…..
Trends for Europe
Within 5 years, no beak treatment, not even with
Novatech!
Within 5 – 10 years, sex determination in the egg (< 10
days)
Constantly high feed prices
GMO-free and protein sourced from Europe

Intermittent Lighting
Program DOC’s:
Arrival
The birds (and not only ours!) has one big genetic
failure: They can‘t read! No managementguide
No lighting program
..
Therefore, it is the pulletgrower who has to
determine if everything is „on track“: Take bodyweights from 1st week onwards, once a week
Not necessary to take individual BW, only if necessary.
Development of the chicks
Development of the chicks
Preparing (Layerfarm) New poultryfarmers -> Practical training
Discuss before the birds will be placed,
settings of: Lights
Feed
Water
Functions & settings from computer & clocks
Determine the strategic road with: Advisors from hatchery, feedsuppliers, Veterinarian
and/ or other involved parties
Preparing
Preparing
Visit the pullets during the rearing period
Placement of the birds at the right time!
Important: Bodyweight & uniformity of the birds
Light intensity and day length
Preparing
Feed and water have to be available in the
system before the birds arrive.
High feedlevel in the through the first days.
Use only Pre-lay Feed when the pullets
are ready……….
Start production
Start of daylight period
Day length extending
Morning and evening
Only when the flock is ready for stimulation.
Depends on local situation & circumstances
Quality of water
Every day fresh water
Vaccinating or other additives
by the water system
Test the drinking water on a regularly base
Quality of water
The optimal water temperature is about 18 - 22˚C!
Water Temperatures of ca. 20 - 25˚C is recommended for day- old chicks in first days.
Birds drink more water at high ambient temperature.(> 25˚C)
The water to feed ratio at comfort temperature is around 1.6– 2: 1
This relation increases up to 5:1 or even higher at high ambient temperatures. (> 30˚C)
Birds refuse to drink, if the water temperature is too high!
Birds do not EAT, if they do not DRINK!
Quality of water
Feed Structure of the feed: Rearing – Laying phase
Feeding times
Once a day feedthrough empty – „fresh feed“
Make sure, that the feeding system
never runs empty during a feeding-time.
Speed of the feeder system
Good structure
Too coarse
Crumb feed
Pelleted Feed – Fast Food – Time
for Feather Pecking
Feed quality
Fine:
When it is homogeneous there are the
best results concerning feder pecking.
Course:
More waste of feed, and more problems to
empty the feeders.

Climate
Prevent unwanted disturbing airflow
Close openings which are causing draught.

Further..
Take (& store) feed samples on a regularly
base And if necessary, investigate them.
Blood samples At arrival of the birds, and if necessary (IB – pressure
for example), on a regularly base
Store them in an ordered manner and investigate them
when requested

Red-Mite control
Risks of mites: E-coli

That’s why you have to beat the (red-)mites!

Concluding… An excellend manager will still be able
to perform with acceptable results although
the circumstances are not perfect
But…
A manager with poor skills will be able
in a situation with the best circumstances,
to spoil the birds (& the results)!!!
Breeding for success....together
Questions???
Thank you for your attention!
