Chinese people have recently achieved the freedom to eat chicken. What is white feather broiler chicken?

Compared with other meat prices, broiler products have not fluctuated too much, especially chilled chicken legs, chicken wings, etc., which are cheaper. In fact, due to the breeding of white-feathered broiler chickens, people's freedom in broiler chicken consumption has been solved. White-feathered broiler chickens account for 70% of the world's share. Its advantages are short growth cycle and high feed conversion rate. It can be ready for sale in 40-42 days. The production cost of such white-feathered broiler chickens is low, chicken farmers have high profits, and the market supply is sufficient. At first, it took 90 days for a white-feathered broiler chicken to grow to 2.6 kilograms, but after a series of breeding, by the 1980s, it only took 45 days to grow to 3.6 kilograms. Now it only takes 42 days to grow to about 5 pounds. It can be seen that with the advancement of science and technology, the feed conversion rate of white-feather broilers has been greatly improved. There are two major types of chicken:

One is local yellow-feather broiler, and the other is white-feather broiler introduced from abroad. It takes more than 90 days for Chinese native chickens to grow up, while white-feathered broiler chickens from Europe and the United States eat less and grow meat quickly. They can enter the market in 40 days, and the core sources are already in the hands of two foreign companies. Asia's largest white-feather broiler breeding base has 500 million white-feather broiler chickens. Chinese people eat nearly 5 billion white-feathered broiler chickens a year, and one in every 10 chickens comes from these two companies. To meet the huge demand, we have been importing original breeder chickens. The initial cost of an original breeder chicken has increased from US$5 to US$37, and it often carries various source-borne diseases. Recently this situation has been completely broken! A self-bred variety has passed national approval, breaking the foreign monopoly on my country's white-feathered broiler chickens! Our country has realized the freedom to eat chicken

In order to break the foreign monopoly, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences decided to start breeding white-feathered broilers in 2009. In 2010, local universities and enterprises responded to the breeding work. The breeding "Guangming No. 2" is the scientific research result of Guangxin Agriculture and Animal Husbandry in Guangdong Province, and Guangxin Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is also the first breeding unit. With the participation of advanced experts from across the country, high-quality "Guangming No. 2" white-feather broilers were quickly cultivated.
