Hubbard’s new M22 males are the result of intensified selection work focused on yield and conformation, the company says.

The Hubbard M22 builds upon the performance and FCR advantages offered by Hubbard’s existing male lines such as the Hubbard M99, but is optimized for total yield and market-leading FCR. Company data shows it offers 1-1.5% additional breast meat yield.

Integration of scanner technology into selection programs has accelerated genetic advances which better enable Hubbard’s geneticists to focus on specific criteria such as breast meat yield and conformation.
