A new record in flock performance has been achieved at Moy Park’s Gulham Farm in Lincolnshire where a European Performance Efficiency Factor (EPEF) of 468 was recorded.
Moy Park said over the years its producers have continuously improved key performance indicators such as feed conversion ratio (FCR), growth rate and EPEF. EPEF is an equation based on average daily weight gain, mortality and feed conversion, and allows farmers to generate a standard measure of farm performance and an EPEF 468 is a new GB record in the Moy Park chain.
“The combined effort across all elements of the supply chain from egg, chick, milling, feed, animal health, contractors, management, data and stockmanship, supported by an enormous contribution of passion, is to be commended,” the company said.
