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 living conditions. Broilers are usually fed a high-protein diet to promote muscle development. Once they reach the desired weight, they are processed for consumption, contributing significantly to the global poultry industry and providing a major source of protein for many diets.
