What is broiler production?

Broiler production refers to the process of raising chickens specifically for meat production. The term "broiler" refers to the type of chicken that is bred and raised for its meat rather than for egg-laying purposes. This highly specialized form of poultry farming involves raising broiler chicks in controlled environments where they receive proper nutrition, veterinary care, and adequate housing conditions. Broiler production focuses on maximizing the growth and development of the chickens within a relatively short period, typically around 6 to 7 weeks, to ensure they reach the desired weight and size for commercial meat production. This process involves careful management of temperature, lighting, ventilation, and feed formulation to achieve efficient growth and superior meat quality. The broiler industry plays a significant role in providing a steady supply of affordable and high-quality chicken meat for consumers worldwide.
