As long as it is a video or article about chickens, people often comment: Nowadays, chickens are out of the cage in more than 40 days. This kind of fast-growing chicken must be given hormones. Who dares to eat it?
This kind of cognition is very common among the people, so many people dare not eat chicken again, or only eat local chickens. But the nutritionist in the explosion nutrition class told everyone that it is very normal for broiler chickens to be released in more than 40 days, and the saying of "hormonal chicken" is just a legend:
In many people's memory, a chicken must be raised for half a year from hatching to being served on the dining table. So now, the chickens that have been out of the cage in more than 40 days are abnormal. If hormones were not used, how could it grow so quickly?
In fact, this idea is very backward. According to the data, in the more than 70 years from 1935 to 1995, the age of slaughtering broilers worldwide has been shortened from 95 days to 40 days.
And in the 21st century, this time is even shortened. Taking my country as an example, the "Technical Regulations on the Production of Commercial Broiler" issued in 2005 stipulates that the weight index of broiler at 6 weeks of age (42 days) is 2420 grams. And chickens of this weight can be used for sale and consumption.
So more than 10 years ago, chickens that were released in more than 40 days met national standards. If this chicken is unhealthy and eating it is harmful to the human body, the country will not allow it to exist.
. Regarding "hormonal chicken", here is a story for you. Some bad breeders once lacked legal awareness on the one hand, because the state does not allow hormones to be added to feed or animal drinking water.
On the other hand, they lack breeding experience. They want to make more money. When they heard someone on the Internet saying that "hormonal chickens" grow very fast, they tried to use hormones during the breeding process.
, but the ending is very miserable. Not only can the growth cycle be shortened and the weight of the chickens are increased, it is also particularly prone to the death of a large number of chickens. In addition, the price of hormones is not cheap, so it can be said that it is a big loss.
Generally speaking, as long as the merchant is not stupid, he will not feed the chickens hormones. "Hormone chickens" are just a legend. Generally speaking, as long as everyone buys chicken from regular channels, they can eat it with confidence.
In addition, as mentioned earlier, some people only eat local chickens. The nutritionist in the Explosive Nutrition Class told everyone that native chickens do not have any special nutritional ingredients or health benefits, and their nutritional value is actually similar to that of broilers.
Of course, broiler has less intermuscular fat and certain flavor substances. So it must be admitted that local chicken is indeed better. If some people pursue local chickens for the sake of taste, it is understandable.
