2. High-quality broiler chickens

This type of broiler chickens are generally selected from my country's local fine breed chickens (yellow feather or hemp feather) for this variety or for strain selection and matching crossbreeding. Many of them are produced through matching cross-breeding between my country's local improved breeds and introduced chicken breeds (such as Red Burrow, Anak, Hypek, etc.). Most applications in production are two-line hybrids and three-line hybrids.

Compared with fast and large broilers, high-quality broilers have slower growth rates, longer feeding cycles, and higher feeding costs. However, high-quality broiler chicken has a smooth texture and good taste, and is loved by consumers in most regions. The price is higher than that of large broiler chickens. The taste and growth rate of broiler chickens may be a pair of negatively correlated traits. Fast growth rate often leads to poor taste. Therefore, some companies also launch three types of broiler chickens: special type, ordinary high quality type and fast growing type to meet the needs of different consumer groups. , and its growth rate also increases from slow to fast.
