Regarding the rumor that KFC's chicken is hormone chicken, Zhang Hongfu, a researcher at the Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences and executive deputy director of the State Key Laboratory of Animal Nutrition, said that at present, no hormones have been found in the broiler breeding process in China and even in the world. The reasons are as follows: First, hormones are expensive and the technical requirements for adding and using them are complicated.
Moreover, adding hormones is an illegal means that China and even the world explicitly prohibit. Article 4 1 of the Regulations on the Administration of Veterinary Drugs in People's Republic of China (PRC) promulgated by the Ministry of Agriculture clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to add hormone drugs to feed and animal drinking water.
Secondly, studies at home and abroad also show that adding hormones does not promote the growth of chickens, but also increases the risk of heart disease, ascites and other diseases in broilers.
Li Jinxiang, inspector of the Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, once said that if hormones are added to promote growth, the mortality rate of chickens will increase, and the high mortality rate is unbearable for any chicken farm, so it is unrealistic to use hormones to promote the rapid growth of broilers.

Qu said that as early as 2008, Qiji Tan was rated as "eight outrageous events" by the media. "The current biotechnology is far from being developed to the point where chickens can grow six wings and eight legs."
It is understood that the relevant person in charge of the China Animal Husbandry Association has previously said that the photos of strange chickens are completely computer-synthesized, and it is impossible to produce such a situation, which violates the laws of nature.
