SASSO launches new service: Improve your local breeding program

For traditional poultry producers looking to take their performance to the next level, SASSO is now offering a new service. “Improve your local breeding program” can help you improve efficiency and performance while still protecting the unique traits of your local breed.

Why should producers consider this service?

Genetic improvement can deliver value in almost every area of your business. For example, just 2% improvement in feed conversion ratio can save a huge amount in feed costs. Genetic selection can also achieve improved egg production, body weight, meat quality, and other economically important traits. With the support of our experts in breeding and genetics, producers can get the best performance and efficiency while protecting the unique appearance of the local breeds.

Our goal is to continue to improve genetic performance while preserving the traits that matter to your market.

  • Creating pedigree families
  • Managing data quality control and database management.
