Chicken Meat
The popularity of chicken meat continues to grow throughout the world. Optivite has global experience in chicken meat production and enjoys extensive contacts throughout the industry built up over the last thirty years.
In most countries feed still represents 70% of the cost of production. Optivite's expertise in all aspects of poultry feed production is relevant to all chicken production enterprises.
Optivite products of particular interest for chicken meat production are:

Genex can lead to improvements in growth rate of up to 80 grams per bird and improvements in FCR of up to 0.05. This gives it a financial value of up to 25 euros per tonne of feed (equivalent to up to 0.09 euros per bird) and a potential Return On Investment of 10:1.
