In China's broiler industry chain, there is a commercial broiler called "817 chicken" that has attracted much attention. However, "817" is not a specific breed name, but a general term for broilers produced under a specific breeding mode, which vividly reveals the efficiency and precision of China's modern broiler industry.
First of all, we need to deeply understand the connotation of the name "817 chicken". Among them, "8" represents the time it takes for this broiler to reach the slaughter standard from hatching of chicks to reaching the slaughter standard, that is, about 8 weeks. In just 56 days, the chick can quickly grow to a weight of about 2Adult broilers of about 5 kg show the amazing growth rate of modern broiler farming. The "17" is an important indicator of feed conversion efficiency, and the feed conversion ratio required per kilogram of weight gain is about 17. This means that raising "817 chickens" requires relatively little feed to obtain higher chicken yield, which greatly improves the breeding efficiency.
The "817 Chicken" is actually a hybrid breed that has been carefully bred by a dedicated breeding company, and there is a deep knowledge of genetics and animal nutrition behind it. These breeds are the result of multiple generations of optimization and crossbreeding, and have significant growth advantages, such as fast growth rate, high feed returns, and the ability to accumulate a large amount of muscle tissue in a short period of time to meet the market demand for chicken products. In addition, they are also well adaptable and can grow stably under different environmental conditions, reducing the risk of breeding due to environmental changes.
In the process of breeding, the injection of scientific and technological strength has greatly improved the production efficiency of "817 chicken". The intelligent farm uses advanced temperature control system, automatic feeding equipment and precise feeding management plan to ensure the healthy growth and rapid development of the flock. At the same time, through the optimization of the feed formula, the researchers have improved the nutritional value and digestion utilization rate of the feed, further shortened the slaughter cycle of chickens and improved the quality of meat.
In general, "817 chicken" is a microcosm of the scientific and technological progress of China's broiler industry, which not only represents an efficient breeding model, but also reflects the successful application of cutting-edge technologies such as biotechnology, nutritional science and intelligent equipment in China's agricultural field. In the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the changes in market demand, "817 Chicken" and the breeding concepts and technologies behind it will continue to be iteratively upgraded to provide better quality, more environmentally friendly and more efficient chicken products for the global food chain.
