Feed is now 60% of the total cost of producing a broiler. Feed costs are forecast to remain high for the next1-2 years*. Efficient feed utilization is the most influential input in the management of live production cost.

Cobb selection programs have emphasized efficiency and feedconversion as highpriorities in thedevelopment of theCobb 500. Cobbachieves the lowestcost of producing akilogram or pound ofmeat in marketsaround the world.

Efficient feedconversion andexcellent growth rateassist in the customer’sgoal of achieving atarget weight with thecompetitive advantageof lowest cost. Cobb combines both attributes in the world’smost successful broiler, the Cobb 500.

The Cobb 500 is a competitive breeder,providing excellent egg and chick numbers tocomplement the superior performance of the

world’s most efficient broiler.

Lowest feed conversion together with the ability ofthe Cobb 500 to thrive on lower density, less

expensive feed, reducesthe cost of producing

chicken meat.

When lower density feedwith reduced nutrient

levels is fed to theCobb 500 it decreases feed

ingredient costs withoutaffecting performance.

Feed cost savings froma one million bird/week

operation are over$2 million/year.

The Cobb 500 Broiler has the best uniformity inthe market. The higher uniformity gives theprocessor more birds within a target weight

specified by the customer.

The greater number of marketable broilers,the higher the sales revenue, optimizing
