Reasons for the separation of male and female breeding in the breeding period of meat breeder chickens

Male and female mixed cocks will soon be overweight and appear toe tumor and leg disease, and the fertilization rate will decline during the breeding period, which will eliminate a large number of cocks and cause imbalance between male and female, which will seriously affect the fertilization rate of breeding eggs. Raising male and female separately has three advantages: first, it can effectively control the weight of rooster and maintain good reproduction. The second is to reduce the incidence of toe tumor in breeder rooster. Third, it can increase the fertilization rate of breeding eggs by 2% to 3%, and the hatching rate by 2% to 6%.
