Optimizing the Economic Return of Pasture-Raised Slow-Growth and Conventional Broilers - Webinar
Over the past three years, Cornell Cooperative Extension has worked with nearly 40 small farmers across NYS to gather information on the true costs of raising broilers (meat chickens) on pasture. This presentation is a summary of the findings of this research project.
We will share:
- Statewide averages and benchmarks for both raising and selling meat chickens
- Common pitfalls when it comes to being profitable
- The performance metrics for Cornish Cross and Slow Growth broilers raised on pasture
- Evidence-based suggestions to improve both performance and profitability
This event is free to attend, but registrations are required using the link at the top of this page. A recording will be available and sent out to all registrants.
