The challenge
Many farmers raise birds that don't suit their system: fast-growing breeds that struggle in free-range or village conditions, or local birds that grow too slowly to pay their way.
Choosing the right breeding stock decides how well your flock grows, how it copes with local conditions, and what you can sell.
What we do
With our partners Hendrix Genetics, we offer SASSO coloured broiler breeders in a wide range of genetic combinations, growth rates and appearances:
- Slow-growing coloured broilers, ideal for extensive and free-range farming
- Dual-purpose chickens that can be raised for both eggs and meat
- Breeder females designed to be crossed with SASSO or your local native males, passing on the cockerel's appearance to every chick
What you receive
- Advice on the breeds that fit your farming system and market
- Coloured broiler and dual-purpose breeding stock
- Product information from SASSO for the breeds you choose
- Links to our hatchery and training support
