The second stage of rearing is known for having the slowest body weight increases, because in this phase, it’s critical to ensure proper growth and development and have a correct body weight development curve, without fluctuations, than to achieve the target average weight at the end of rearing. The correct average weight at the end is not a guarantee of success. Success can only be achieved if the birds show a correct and uniform body condition.

The determining factors to guarantee the success of the rearing phase will be mainly on:
