Consuming white meat, that is, chicken, rabbit, turkey, piglet, or lamb has always been considered much healthier than consuming red meat, but a study by the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute (CHORI) and the University of California in San Francisco, has pointed out that consuming similar amounts of both types of meat raises levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in very similar ways. But the increase in cholesterol levels should not be the only reason to recommend a reduction in the consumption of meat, since various experts have declared that this also contributes to the development of obesity, arteriosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and high blood pressure, among others.
According to experts, we are talking about approximately 15.7% of the meat produced in Europe. Without thorough heat treatment, such meat is dangerous to health. Besides, contamination of other products that chicken meat will come into contact with during storage may occur. Preference should be given to poultry - it is less likely that in the process of keeping it was fed with steroids, and then treated with chlorine for long-term storage. And remember that high cholesterol in fried and smoked chicken can lead to problems with blood vessels. Breeding chickens in the home yard allows you to receive fresh food from feathered pets regularly. This is, of course, an egg, and in a few years, when the productivity of a bird decreases, it can be slaughtered, and meat can be obtained. Some poultry farmers breed meat chickens only for meat products, although such people are much fewer. Most household owners prefer to buy laying hens to receive eggs from them daily or at least every other day.
Keeping a bird in a suburban area is convenient and profitable, especially if an experienced person who knows everything about keeping and feeding feathered pets is involved in this business. Although raising and raising chickens is not very difficult. The main advantages of this activity are:
- Obtaining Tasty, Nutritious, and Environmentally Friendly Products;
- Obtaining Fertilizer for The Garden in The Form Of Bird Droppings.
Among other things, hens can be allowed to walk in the yard, where they are looking for food and additional, vital, and useful nutrients for them. The main feed, as a rule, are wet mixers made from various products collected from the table. Thus, the bird does not need any unique products besides, of course, grain. Also, another advantage of raising chickens in the home yard is getting chickens from their brood hens, and not buying young animals on the side. The disadvantages of keeping chickens include the need for someone to stay permanently in the household to feed a bird daily, build a chicken coop and equip it with perches and nests, especially if it is planned to leave feathered pets for the winter.
Another negative point is the fencing of the territory for chickens. Otherwise, they will trample or destroy all the beds that are planted on the site. Some owners of a country house purchase decorative chickens for themselves, which become a kind of decoration of the website. Everyone decides for himself whether to breed or not to breed chickens, which produce to buy and what to focus on when choosing feathered pets.
