Hatchery

Evaluate the use of probiotics on day-old chick vigor.
Test the efficacy of Clostridium vaccines on day-old broiler chicks and it would be good to test their efficacy.
Compare the effectiveness of antibiotics in day-old broiler chicks for example, penicillin versus gentamycin.
Evaluate Cocci vaccines in day-old broiler chicks and their effectiveness in Atlantic Canada.
Evaluate products to reduce E. Coli challenges in day-old broiler chicks – applied either to the day old broiler chick or used in the breeder barn.
Evaluate the effect of brooding temperatures on the performance of broiler chicks. Commercial experience is indicating that today’s genetics require a higher brooding temperature than 10 or 15 years ago to optimize weight gain and alleviate stress on the chicks.
