Selection of a broiler genetic should be based on various factors including market age of the birds, whether they are going to be sold live or as process birds. If the carcass is going to be use as whole, for pieces, or deboned for packaging or further processing into links, sausages, or other products. Each genetic line has a detail guide for production with expected growth performance and processing results that should be carefully reviewed. Also consider the logistics of procuring newly hatched chicks for rearing. Finally, it is always good to consult with local experts and growers with experience about their recommendations for a genetic line.
