Season 1 Episode 20

---

The purpose of broiler and breeder nutrition and management is to ensure that the birds receive adequate nutrition and care as to support optimal growth and production. It can include selecting appropriate feeds, formulating diets, implementing feeding and watering systems, and monitoring the health and welfare of the birds. In order to perform those processes, statistical and computational techniques are used in data analysis to extract insights and inform decision-making. Indeed, data analytics in broiler and breeder production can optimize nutrition and management practices, monitor performance, and identify patterns, and that’s what Dr. Oviedo-Rondon discusses in this episode. He talks about broiler and breeder production, how to enhance it (primarily through nutrition), and the advent of data analytics to support those improvements in the poultry industry.

"Nutrition and management ended up affecting many characteristics on the reproductive tract, which affects the hen's ability to produce fertile eggs." - Dr. Edgar Orlando Oviedo-Rondon
