Rural chicken is very popular with consumers. Do you know why?

With the continuous improvement of social consumption level, farmers' economic level has gradually improved and their living standards have undergone earth-shaking changes. People have begun to pay attention to eating chicken. Let's start with the local chicken.

Rural chickens are favored by consumers. Native chicken, also known as grass chicken, refers to chickens raised in mountainous areas and orchards, which are different from broilers and laying hens raised in cages. In appearance, the native chicken has a small and compact head, muscular chest and legs, long feet and thin claws. Due to the long growth cycle, the big toes are developed and long, and the cockscomb is large and upright with bright colors. Non-native chickens have big heads, thick feet, loose feathers and small cockscomb. Because of the short growth cycle, something big and fast didn't develop, and it looked like a small meatball. Turkey native chicken is characterized by thin skin, fine pores, network arrangement, yellow skin color and uniform fat distribution, and it feels that local subcutaneous fat distribution is uniform. Outsiders have smooth skin and low white color. After the chicken is stewed, the soup is transparent and clear, and the noodle soup is delicious. Chicken in other places is turbid, with little fat accumulation and relatively light taste, lacking the rich flavor of chicken soup.

Chickens are raised by domestic chicken farmers. Eating corn, whole grains, vegetables, grass and mountains and rivers has a long growth cycle, and the price of this kind of chicken in the market is relatively expensive. Although it is expensive, it is still very popular, so the demand for local chicken in the market is in short supply, so most people usually only feed themselves, so authentic local chicken is rarely bought in the market. This description of native chicken can be seen everywhere in the market. Businessmen seized people's general pursuit of natural green food, resisted the psychology of feed breeding and put on the concept of "native chicken". Although the price is much higher than that of ordinary broilers, there is the word "native chicken", which is highly sought after by consumers.

Free-range chickens raised in natural environment taste different from those raised in large chicken farms, and free-range chickens taste better. The nutrition is similar, but there is a little difference, because local chickens exercise more and have less body fat than fenced chickens. However, the price of local chickens is too high, and it is much cheaper to raise chickens in pens. At present, many people are really biased against the feed industry, because consumers don't understand the large-scale farming industry. In fact, the quality of livestock and poultry products is related to livestock and poultry varieties, feed nutrition, feeding methods, feeding time and other factors, and feed is only one of the factors affecting the quality of livestock and poultry products. Due to the comprehensive nutrition of feed, some livestock and poultry products grow faster under certain conditions, and the taste may be slightly worse than some slow-growing livestock and poultry products, but it does not affect the nutritional value and safety of livestock and poultry products.
