HARCO NN
The HARCO NN is a slow-growing coloured broiler hybrid developed for both intensive and alternative production systems. One of the breed’s most important advantages is its excellent heat tolerance, allowing stable performance even under warmer and more extreme climatic conditions.
Global climate change and increasing heat stress are becoming major challenges in broiler production as well. During the development of the HARCO NN, special emphasis was placed on resistance to environmental stress, good livability and balanced growth under different production systems.
The breed is an excellent choice for free-range and alternative systems, where natural appearance, robust body structure and reliable performance are increasingly important. The HARCO NN provides good meat quality, stable growth and economical production while adapting well to changing environmental conditions.
The HARCO NN is an ideal choice for producers looking for a modern, heat-tolerant and versatile broiler hybrid prepared for the challenges of the future.
HARCO NN — reliable performance even under hot conditions.
