Cobb-Vantress Launches Revolutionary Cobb800 Broiler Breeder

Cobb-Vantress, LLC has officially introduced the Cobb800™, a new-age broiler breeder engineered specifically for large-scale operations around the globe. With a foundation rooted in decades of genetic advancements, the Cobb800 has undergone the most extensive commercial testing program in the company’s history, aimed at enhancing yield, livability, and hatchability across diverse global production environments.

Building on a Strong Foundation

The launch of the Cobb800 complements Cobb’s existing offerings, particularly the Cobb500™, which remains a strong contender in the small bird market. The Cobb500 is known for its performance and efficiency, maintaining a competitive edge for producers. According to Cobb leadership, the Cobb500 remains a trusted and high-performing solution for operations focused on smaller birds worldwide.

Innovation and Commitment

Shelby Watkins, President of Cobb, stated, “The Cobb800 embodies years of dedicated research and innovation aimed at achieving substantial genetic progress. While the Cobb500 continues to excel in small bird markets, the Cobb800 represents a significant opportunity for growth in a segment where we previously had no specialized, high-yield solutions.”

Designed for Modern Production Demands

Targeting markets where yield, scalability, and overall performance are crucial, the Cobb800 has been meticulously selected to thrive under real-world commercial stress. This new breed has been rigorously evaluated in various regions, management systems, and nutrition programs to confirm performance metrics in diverse production settings.

Proven Through Rigorous Testing

“The Cobb800 marks a transformative approach in our design, testing, and delivery of genetic advancements,” said Dr. William Herring, Vice President of Research & Development at Cobb. “It is the most rigorously tested product in Cobb’s history, showing promise across multiple geographies and production frameworks.”

Moreover, the Cobb800 is the first breed to complete its development via Cobb’s Proving Grounds, showcasing the scale and precision intended for commercial relevance.

A New Benchmark for Measurable Progress

The introduction of the Cobb800 underscores Cobb’s commitment to providing reliable solutions that producers can seamlessly incorporate into their operations.

“This achievement represents extraordinary collaboration and commitment from our global team,” said Watkins. “It highlights our dedication to advancing the poultry industry while supporting customers with proven, data-driven solutions.”
