Broiler Farming
Broiler farming is the practice of raising chickens specifically for meat production. These chickens, known as broilers, are bred to grow quickly and efficiently, reaching market weight in about six to seven weeks. Farmers provide a controlled environment, including proper nutrition, temperature, and space, to ensure the birds grow healthy and strong.
In broiler farming, the main focus is on maximizing meat yield while maintaining animal welfare. Farmers often use specialized housing systems, such as broiler houses, to protect the birds from predators and harsh weather. The industry plays a significant role in the global food supply, providing affordable protein to consumers.
