Intensive System

• In an intensive system, the health of the chicken flock can be intensively monitored.

• Average annual production amount of this system is relatively higher than other systems.

• Growth rate and feed conversion ratio is relatively higher also.

• Less mortality because of lower disease infestation and losses caused by predators. 

• Intensive system is costly because it requires a lot of inputs.
