Optimizing the Economic Return of Pasture-Raised Slow-Growth and Conventional Broilers

Over the past three years, Cornell Cooperative Extension has worked with nearly 40 small farmers across NYS to gather information on the true costs of raising broilers (meat chickens) on pasture. This presentation is a summary of the findings of this research project.

We will share:

• Statewide averages and benchmarks for both raising and selling meat chickens
• The performance metrics for Cornish Cross and Slow Growth broilers raised on pastures
• Common pitfalls when it comes to being profitable
• Evidence-based suggestions to improve both performance and profitability
