| The Primary benefit is improved Profit for
the following sectors: A) The Grower -
This comes from : -
1) Maximising his revenue from the Processor by getting birds into
the factory at the most profitable weight.
2) Improvement in bird Health and Welfare with reductions in on-farm
mortality.
3) Improved Feed Conversion Efficiency.
4) Reducing feed costs per bird by feeding the optimal proportion of
cheap unground cereal.
5) Simplifying local management input of time and effort.
Paying for FLOCKMAN, ancillary silos,
augers, wiring, installation and other costs in about 12 months.
B) The Factory - This comes from: -
1) Getting the birds into the Factory within +/- 2% of the Target
weights.
2) Improved Breast meat and carcase yields. This comes from getting
the correct quantities of amino-acids into the birds, particularly in the last 2 weeks of
life.
3) Fewer DOAs, downgrades and rejects.
4) Reducing the variability of birds within the flock.
5) Better prediction of the numbers of birds coming from the farm.
6) Better on-farm bird Health & Welfare to meet the aspirations
of the Supermarkets and their customers.
C) The Integrator This comes from all the
above factors PLUS
1) One good supervisor can set up all sites as required to maximise
Integrator profit.
2) Fewer Supervisors needed to manage the same number of growing
sites.
3) QA documents to satisfy Supermarket outlet requirements can be
automaically produced.
4) All commercial sites can be used for on-going R & D to
investigate any aspect of environment, feeding, lighting, nutrition, breed, litter type,
medicines, vaccination etc. Results will be unbiased and capable of proper statistical
evaluation before new approved decisions and strategies are implemented.
5) All farm data can be automatically integrated into a central
data-base. This can be interrogated and used for profit optimisation purposes across the
whole of the integration.
