Take the lead in starting welfare breeding of laying hens

"In a space the size of A4 paper 3/4, 24 hours of restlessness." This is a common "treatment" for laying hens in large-scale chicken farms ".

In China's largest egg processing enterprise-Hubei Shendan Health Food Co., Ltd. welfare laying hens farm, laying hens live in large houses, listen to music, play uneven bars, enjoy medical security ...... On the 8th, the reporter with the provincial poultry industry association, the provincial academy of agricultural sciences experts, witnessed the "happy life" of the laying hens ".

According to reports, in 2012, Shendan Company took the lead in starting laying hen welfare breeding in China with reference to EU animal welfare breeding standards. Recently, the first batch of 20000 animal welfare eggs will be fresh listing.

Li Chaiguo, executive director of the China Poultry Industry Association, believes that this move may subvert residents' consumption concepts and trigger a wave of egg consumption upgrades.

The happy life of laying hens

The breeding base is next to the Sanhe Reservoir in Anlu City with beautiful scenery. The feeding density of each chicken is 0.4 square meters, which is 7 times that of 0.06 square meters of ordinary laying hens. Laying hens live in neat big houses, strolling in the spacious compound. There are also perches in the yard for laying hens to jump up and down to play.

The diet of laying hens is also very particular. They eat corn, soybean meal and other miscellaneous grains with meals, and drink purified water from Sanhe Reservoir. In addition, regular disinfection, natural ventilation, but also equipped with biological beds, medical security measures as many. The most attractive thing is that these laying hens also have "boyfriends" to accompany them around foraging or bathing and frolicking. "Let the laying hens have enough sense of security and the happiness of loving each other, and only when they are in a good mood can they lay good eggs!" One side of the staff explained.

Li Chaanguo introduced that animal welfare eggs refer to eggs produced by laying hens under the animal welfare breeding model. The so-called animal welfare is to let animals live freely, healthily and comfortably, get good feeding, fully release their nature, and avoid pain and fear. This requires a good production environment, scientific management, disease prevention and humanistic care.

Welfare model spawns China's good eggs

Du Jinping, a researcher at the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that in the minds of many Chinese people, "native eggs" are the best, but no one can say that there is a scientific and unified standard for what kind of eggs are standard native eggs. "Animal welfare eggs can be regarded as standard good soil eggs."

Animal nutrition analysis showed that the eggs produced by laying hens in a comfortable environment had better taste, comprehensive nutrients, large yolk, high protein concentration, and higher phospholipids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids are the protector of human life. They can effectively prevent the synthesis of lipoproteins in the liver, promote cholesterol metabolism, reduce blood viscosity, reduce thrombosis, and protect the human body's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular. As people pay more and more attention to food safety, improving animal welfare will gradually become the best way to improve product quality.

It is understood that due to limited production, the first batch of animal welfare eggs will be sold in batches in Wuhan, Shanghai, Changsha, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, at a price about three times that of ordinary eggs.
