Can you believe it? It only takes 30 days for an adult chicken to grow up to serve the table!
With the improvement of people's living conditions, meat, which was once regarded as a luxury and was reluctant to eat, has now become a daily delicacy on people's tables, of which chicken occupies half of the country.
In response to this huge market demand, a type of poultry called "instant chicken" came into being, and they have become the main force of the modern chicken industry with an astonishing growth rate.
However, behind this seemingly efficient breeding model, are the raised chickens really healthy?
The statements in this article are based on reliable sources, and the relevant sources are detailed at the end of the article.
Is the "Instant Chicken" Hormone-Driven?
In modern industrialized agricultural production, the cultivation of instant chickens has become an efficient and widespread phenomenon.
This breed of chicken, known as the white-feathered broiler, has a growth cycle of only 33 days, which is undoubtedly an astonishing rate compared to other breeds of chickens.
The environment in which the instant chickens are raised is different from the usual chicken farms, which is a hatchery full of high-tech, and from the time it is still an egg, it has already begun to be cared for by technology.
It is not easy to make chickens, and it is even more difficult to make quick chickens.
After the chicks hatch for enough days, they will break out of the shell, but the chicks have just broken out of the shell, and they have not yet seen what the world is like, and they will face the cruel reality of survival of the fittest.
The chicks who meet the qualified standards can usher in a new stage of their chicken life, that is, they will be transferred to the farm and enter the next step of development.
On the farm, the chickens live in a high-density environment, and each chicken has an automated life, and their task is to eat, drink, sleep and sleep.
After day after day of feeding, many chickens have soared in weight, and even lost the ability to stand or walk, and can only sit, when their weight reaches the ideal slaughter standard in people's hearts, the fate of the instant chickens comes to an end.
After a series of complex processes, the chickens become what people call fried chicken, roast chicken, stewed chicken and other delicacies......
And after the 33-day instant chickens were exposed, people questioned whether these chickens were eating a lot of hormones.
Hormones, formerly known as "hormones". Substances that have special effects on the body secreted directly into the blood by the endocrine organs or tissues of humans and animals. The coordinated action of various hormones is necessary to maintain the body's metabolism and function.
Many people will think that these chickens grow fast and big, must be fed hormones, this is not true, the rapid chicken is raised by scientific and reasonable ratio of feed.
Giving chickens hormones is quite thankless, and the general food of chickens is nothing more than corn, wheat and other cheap raw materials, and the cost of hormones is higher than these feeds.
In addition, according to the research of professionals, there is a huge risk of using hormones on chickens, which can cause physical discomfort to chickens, and cool chickens directly.
Therefore, as long as the chicken is purchased through formal channels and has a quarantine mark, it can be eaten with confidence, but it is also necessary to consume reasonably, balance your diet, and let yourself have a healthy body.
