Hy-Line's genetic selection tool helps producers increase egg output, reduce feed costs and increase revenue.
At Hy-Line, genetic progress is at the core of everything we do. Each year, a significant portion of our revenue is reinvested into research and development with one clear objective: to deliver continuous genetic improvement that creates measurable value across the egg supply chain. Through our advanced selection program, each new generation of Hy-Line layers is designed to outperform the previous one. Today, that progress translates into approximately four additional henhoused eggs per year, while requiring five fewer grams of feed per dozen eggs produced over a 100- week production cycle. These gains in productivity and feed efficiency directly improve performance for both breeder and commercial operations.
For breeder customers, improved genetics result in increased chick output per hen, enhancing efficiency and overall production potential. For commercial egg producers, the benefit comes through higher egg numbers and improved feed conversion, ultimately strengthening egg income over feed cost - one of the most critical profitability drivers in the industry. When translated into economic terms, the impact is significant. Using an estimated egg value of $0.11 and feed cost of $300 per ton, these annual genetic improvements generate approximately $0.50 of additional value per commercial layer housed. Scaled across the more than one billion Hy-Line layers placed globally each year, this represents hundreds of millions of dollars in added value delivered to the egg industry annually.
Hy-Line understands that producers operate in highly competitive markets with tight margins. That is why our commitment remains focused on continuous improvement -ensuring that every new generation of layers delivers greater efficiency, stronger performance and increased profitability for our customers.By consistently advancing genetics, Hy-Line helps empower producers around the world to succeed - year after year.
