Broilers are chickens specifically raised for meat production. They are bred to grow quickly and efficiently, reaching market weight in about six to seven weeks. This rapid growth is achieved through selective breeding and specialized feeding practices, making them a popular choice for poultry farmers.
These birds are typically kept in large, climate-controlled barns to ensure optimal growth conditions. Broilers are usually processed for consumption, and their meat is a staple in many diets worldwide. The poultry industry relies heavily on broilers to meet the demand for chicken products, contributing significantly to the global food supply.
