Is chicken right for

my family?
A simple intro to your bff(chicken)
 The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type
of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl.
It is one of the most common and widespread domestic
animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as
of 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any
other bird or domesticated fowl.Humans keep chickens
primarily as a source of food (consuming both their
meat and eggs) and, less commonly, as pets
About broiler
 A broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) is any chicken that is bred and raised
specifically for meat production.[1] Many typical broilers have white feathers
and yellowish skin. Most commercial broilers reach slaughter-weight
between four[2] and seven weeks of age, although slower growing breeds
reach slaughter-weight at approximately 14 weeks of age. Because the meat
broilers are this young at slaughter (roughly 500g), their behaviour and
physiology are that of an immature bird. Due to extensive breeding
selection for rapid early growth and the husbandry used to sustain this,
broilers are susceptible to several welfare concerns, particularly skeletal
malformation and dysfunction, skin and eye lesions, and congestive heart
conditions. Management of ventilation, housing, stocking density and in-
house procedures must be evaluated regularly to support good welfare of
the flock. The breeding stock (broiler-breeders) grow to maturity and
beyond but also have welfare issues related to the frustration of a high
feeding motivation and beak trimming. Broilers are usually grown as mixed-
sex flocks in large sheds under intensive conditions.
Modern broiler
 Modern commercial broilers, for example, Cornish crosses and
Cornish-Rocks are artificially selected and bred for large-scale,
efficient meat production. They are noted for having very fast
growth rates, a high feed conversion ratio, and low levels of
activity. Modern commercial broilers are bred to reach a
slaughter-weight of about 2 kg in only 35 to 49 days.As a
consequence, the behaviour and physiology of broilers reared
for meat are those of immature birds, rather than adults. Slow
growing free-range and organic strains have been developed
which reach slaughter-weight at 12 to 16 weeks of age.
According to FDA U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services
 On 15 January 2015, MSN republished a Parent
Society article entitled “Finally! The FDA Admits That
Nearly Over 70% of U.S. Chickens Contain Cancer-
Causing Arsenic.”
 Using the new method, FDA scientists found that the
levels of inorganic arsenic in the livers of chickens treated
with 3-Nitro® were increased relative to levels in the
livers of the untreated control chickens.
Can you guess ?
what is common between them?
 Both are struggling with cancer but
only chicken is the one who
has at least 4 types of cancer including
 Liver cancer
 Prostate cancer
 Skin cancer
 And most common Lungs
