The robust Efficiency Plus strengthens the market with its excellent feed efficiency, disease resistance, livability and productivity at both the breeder and broiler levels,” Costa said.
 
 “The Hubbard Efficiency Plus has the right balance of qualities to ensure the success of Hubbard customers. “The poultry industry in Latin America has a future of continuous growth, and our investment in this region will be ongoing to keep pace with this growth.”
