Introduction
The Rowan Ranger, an Aviagen specialty product for the slower-growing broiler market, has recently been launched into
$TQNOD 3GD1NV@M1@MFDQHRSGDjQRSBNLLDQBH@KKX@U@HK@AKDOQNCTBSEQNLSGD1NV@M1@MFDTM; a range of speciality coloured
birds developed to meet the needs of selected markets, including the slower-growing, free-range, and organic markets.
The Rowan Ranger is a slower-growing coloured broiler which offers excellent performance, superb meat yield and increased

the Rowan Ranger and the standard Aviagen product range and the purpose of this document is to provide information on how
to appropriately manage the Rowan Ranger. The advice covers parent stock, hatchery and broiler management and is based
on a combination of data from trials and the expertise and practical knowledge of the Aviagen Technical Service Teams. This

with, and as a supplement to, the local Parent Stock and Broiler Handbooks supplied by Aviagen.
Parent Stock Management

The main market for the Rowan Ranger is, for now, Europe, where local economic drivers (relatively high stocking densities,
high labour and land costs) favour parent stock management which achieves 5% egg production at 23 weeks of age. The

For all other general aspects of Rowan Ranger parent stock management the local Parent Stock Handbook, 2013 should be
referred to.
Rearing 0 to 20 weeks
Management of the Rowan Ranger in rear should be similar to that for the standard Aviagen products (for example in Europe
the Ross 308).
Brooding Management
As for all Aviagen products it is important to get the Rowan Ranger off to a good start through the use of good brooding
management practices. The brooding set up must provide easy access to feed, water, heat and light (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Good brooding set up showing adequate access to feed, water and light and where the temperature is correct.
Chicks are evenly spread throughout the entire brooding pen, eating, drinking and vocalising contentedly. There is no evidence
of panting or huddling.
Achieving the correct environmental temperature is key to getting the birds off to a good start and recommended environmental
conditions (Figure 2) must be achieved 24 hours prior to chick placement.

Air temperature = 30C
Relative humidity (RH) = 60-70%
Floor temperature = 28-30C
Environmental temperature recommendations after placement are given in Table 1.

Other key management points during brooding include;

q Always monitor actual chick behaviour to determine if house temperatures are correct (see Figure 1). If bird behaviour
indicates that temperatures are too hot (chicks spread out, panting and no vocalisation) or cold (chicks huddling around

Water Management
Birds must have an easy and plentiful access to fresh, clean water from placement. Supplementary drinkers should be used

and drink. This is particularly important where transport times have been longer.
Feed Management
Feed management for the Rowan Ranger is the same as that for other standard Aviagen products. The key points are:
q A sieved crumble or mini-pellets should initially be provided in feeder trays (1 for every 80-100 birds) and on paper spread
across at least 90% of the brooding area.
q Make feed available in mechanical feeding systems from day one and paper should not be removed from the brooding area
until the birds have learned to feed from the mechanical feeders.
q Where track feeding or pans are used birds should be gradually introduced to the automated system from 8 days of age
onwards. Full transfer to the automated feeding system should occur over a 2-3 day period during which time the amount
of feed in the automated system should be gradually increased. During the transitional period to the automated system
manual feeding should continue.

q Monitor feed depth, distribution time and clean-up time routinely at several points around the house and adjust feeder height
regularly with bird age and growth.
q If track feeders are used all feed should be distributed to each population within 3 minutes. If feed distribution is a problem,
distribution time can be reduced by placing a supplementary feed hopper halfway around the feeder loop.
q Pan feeders provide good feed distribution if managed properly. Pan feeders must remain charged at all times and should
be checked regularly to ensure that all pans are receiving feed and that the lines remain charged.

maintained at the recommended body weights for age. The Ranger female must not be allowed to get over weight between 15
and 22 weeks of age as this might stimulate onset of sexual maturity even in the absence of light stimulation. This is particularly
important when birds are reared in open-sided houses.

As with all standard Aviagen products, birds in closed houses should be reared on short days of 8 hours from 10 days of age.
If birds are reared in open-sided houses then they should be allowed to experience whatever the natural day length is.

might be helpful to increase day length by 1 hour to 14 hours. Further increases in day length will advance the onset of adult
photorefractoriness and result in inferior rates of lay at the end of the laying cycle. In open-sided houses day length will vary
according to placement date and natural day length patterns. If the longest natural day length in lay is expected to exceed

It is important that birds do not experience a reduction in day length during lay.
Laying Period (21 weeks to depletion)

Managing Stock Transfer
Transfer of stock to the laying facilities must be managed with appropriate care. Extra feed (approximately 50% more) should
be given on the day before and the day of transfer to help compensate for moving stress. Feeding space must not be reduced
and lighting programmes and biosecurity should be synchronised between rearing and laying houses.

procedure for determining the pattern of feed increase from 5% production to peak is the same as that for the standard Aviagen
products.

Feed Reduction After Peak
Feed reduction after peak is the area of management that will have the biggest impact on persistency of lay and hatch and
needs to be handled with care. The Ranger is a dwarf female and has lower body reserves. Flocks can therefore react to
sudden changes in nutrient intake.
Timing and amount of feed reduction will depend on the following observations:

To enable the farm manager to monitor and establish an appropriate feed reduction programme, it is important that the following
characteristics are measured, recorded and graphed onto a chart:
q Daily (or weekly) body weight and body-weight change relative to the target.
q Daily egg weight and egg-weight trend relative to the target.
q Daily changes in feed clean-up time.
Feed allowances after peak should be adjusted to compensate for any unexpected changes in the above characteristics.

Floor Eggs
The Ranger is a dwarf female and so any obstacles to the nest must be avoided and the recommended number of birds per
nest must not be exceeded.

automatic nests, if entry to the nest is higher than 10 cm high. For automatic nests adjustments may need to be made to

reduced breeder performance is to be avoided.
Nest Space
It is recommended to provide increased nest space for the Ranger female (i.e. reduce the number of birds per linear meter of

female feeder grills are not adjusted to account for this, males may be able to steal female feed. The vertical height of the female
feeder feeding grills should be reduced to a maximum of 55 cm to prevent males accessing female feeders.
Male Management
Male management practices for the Rowan male are similar to those for the standard Aviagen male. Good male management
is as important for the productivity of the Rowan male as it is for the standard Aviagen males. The key difference for the Rowan

Hatchery
Rowan Ranger broiler chicks need between 4 and 6 hours less time to hatch than the Ross 308. If incubation times are not
adjusted accordingly to account for this, broiler performance might be impaired.
To achieve optimum incubation times, the set time for the Rowan Ranger should be delayed by 4-6 hours. It is not recommended
to shorten the time in the hatchers or lower the incubation temperatures.
The best check of whether or not incubation times are correct is chick yield at take-off. This is calculated as:
average chick weight
average egg weight at set

Broilers
The Rowan Ranger broiler is a speciality product for the slower-growing bird market; it has a maximum growth rate of 45g per
day to 56 days of age. The Rowan Ranger broiler does not need specialised management and should be managed with the
same care and detail to attention as standard Aviagen broiler products. However, Rowan Ranger broiler chicks might be slightly

Conclusions
The popularity of the Rowan Ranger is likely to increase due to its slower growth rate and its recognition as a slower-growing

and modifying management appropriately to account for them will ensure that the performance of the Rowan Ranger parent
stock is optimised.
The key points to consider when managing Rowan Ranger parent stock are:

q Rowan males should be managed with care and attention. Accurate and regular monitoring of body weight and condition
is the key to maintaining good fertility.

These nutrient allocations at peak are based on feeding 131g of a
2800 kcal ME/kg diet.
Table 3.,@KDO@QDMSRSNBJMTSQHSHNMRODBHkB@SHNMR
Feed allocation will be determined by male body weight and condition. The male diet should be introduced when birds are moved to the
laying house or at light stimulation.

Table 4. Processing performance.

The following tables indicate how yields of the major portions change with increasing live weight in each sex. Two types of
processing are described: eviscerated yield is broken down into breast meat, thigh and drumstick to represent a portioning
operation and into breast meat and leg meat to represent a deboning operation.
