Technical Introduction
Egg weight is driven by the interaction between early body development, management and nutrition, especially under Asian production conditions. This session will focus on the importance of body weight at 5–6 weeks as a key determinant of future egg size, as well as the correct timing of light stimulation based on body weight rather than age. Nutritional aspects will also be addressed, with emphasis on amino acid intake, closely linked to egg weight, and energy management under heat stress conditions....
Spectrum Precision
Precise alignment of body weight, light stimulation and nutrition to control egg size progression under Asian production conditions.
Performance Metrics
Egg weight progression, flock uniformity and persistence of target egg size throughout the production cycle.
