Broiler production
The Brazilian broiler industry ranks among the most highly technical and competitive globally, defined by high integration and a strong focus on operational efficiency. In a tight-margin environment, every detail matters: minor variations in feed conversion ratio (FCR), body weight gain, or ingredient quality directly affect cost per kilogram produced.
In this context, nutrition plays a strategic role, accounting for over 70% of total production costs. Feed ingredients must deliver precise nutrient density, support zootechnical performance, and evolve in step with genetic advances and modern management practices.
FS formulates animal nutrition ingredients within a circular economy model, creating value from the corn ethanol process and promoting efficient resource utilization. Our ingredient portfolio emphasizes quality, sustainability, and batch-to-batch consistency to enable optimized feed formulations supporting profitability for the broiler sector.
FS combines technology and applied science to develop high-quality animal nutrition ingredients, backed by reliable usage recommendations that ensure consistent zootechnical performance and enhanced profitability for producers.
FS Essencial in Broiler Production
- Greater flexibility in feed formulation
- A partial replacement for soybean meal and corn while maintaining weight gain and feed conversion.
- Source of insoluble fiber that stimulates gizzard activity and supports digestive efficiency.
- Maintains zootechnical performance, carcass yield, and meat cuts.
- Contributes to the integrity of the animal’s digestive tract.
- Traceable ingredient and lower carbon footprint.
- Contains functional components, such as glucans and yeast cell wall fractions.
- Enables lower feed formulation costs.
Recommended use
Studies conducted in Brazil demonstrate that FS Essencial can be included at rates of up to 15% in broiler diets, partially replacing soybean meal without compromising growth performance. Higher inclusion levels may require precise adjustment of the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) balance.
Optimal inclusion rates should be determined based on the rearing phase, performance targets, and overall nutritional strategy. For specific recommendations, access our technical guide or contact our team of specialists.
