We are in process of formulating research diets for Cobb 430 broiler chickens. When I searched in websites, I couldn't find any breed-specific standard feed formula for Cobb 430. It would be of great help if nutritionists / poultry scientists/ an expert can help me in this regard.

Cobb 430 is not a breed presently offered by the Cobb-Vantress breeding company. Is it a genuine breed produced by this company?
It might thus be hard to find any data given by this breeding company.
Dear Kees Kan,
Thanks for your response. It is true that COBB 430 is not offered by Cobb-Vantress company. But it is being recently supplied by Venky's Group in India.
Have a nice evening and happy weekend!
Dear Selvam
Ususally/normally the company that supplies the broilers, also provides you with the nutritional requirements of that specific breed (especially when the characteristics of that breed are different from the "average" broiler).
Thus Venky's should provide them, to convince farmers that they sell a good and profitable product, otherwise this product is prone to become a failure.
If you know - from your experience - the characteristics of this breed, you might find similar breeds from other suppliers and you can use their recommendations as a start.
Good luck
Kees
Dear Kees Kan,
Thanks a lot for your suggestions....Happy weekend!
Regards, Selvam
