Spicy roasted chicken feet. You must know that there are chicken feet consumed in China every year20 billion, equivalent to 10 billion chickens, where do these chicken feet come from?

Drooling.
A chicken produces 2 claws, and a chicken from breaking the shell to appearing in the slaughterhouse, it takes 2 to 3 months, depending on the breed, the time is also different, but without exception, the cultivation cycle will not be less than 1 month.
The growth process of chickens.
If we will chicken feet disposableEat them all, which means that it takes a long time to replenish.
And China's consumption of chicken feet is so large, why is there a steady stream of goods added to the market?
Speaking of which, many friends may associate with the so-called "fast chicken", and the cultivation cycle is only half a month before it can be circulated to the market.
There is also the kind of multi-legged chicken that has passed through "**, a chicken oftenThere are several chicken feetIt looks very scary.
Such situations are indeed one of the best chicken feet, but with the increase of market supervision in China, there are almost no such chicken breeds circulating on the market.
Attention should be paid to hormone chickens.
Therefore, if you want to find out where the chicken feet come from, you have to start from our countryChicken breedingSpeaking of.
The main breeding in our country isWhite-feathered chickens, this type of chicken breedThe growth cycle is fast and the meat production is largeIt is in line with the relevant standards of China's market.
The white-feathered chicken is a new breed bred by American scientists in the last century using the Konish chicken as the male parent and the white-feathered rock chicken as the female parent, and later it has been improved many times.
White-feathered chickensAfter the reform and opening up, China's market demand for chickens gradually expanded, so a number of white-feathered chickens were introduced to foreign countries to obtain higher economic benefits.
The average weight of each white-feathered chicken in the market is about2.9 kgThe mid-growth cycle takes only 40 days, with an average daily weight gain of more than 60 grams.
Some farms use hormones to get fast.
And in the process of breeding, the white feather chicken has a strong ability to resist disease, and the overall mortality rate can be guaranteed to be below 5.
Hens for laying eggs produce an average of 184 eggs per year, and if these eggs are used for hatching, 153 chicks can be hatched.
Breeding white-feathered chickens can obtain income from many aspects, and once a mature breeding technology is formed, it can be maintained stably and for a long time.
White-feathered chickens have also become the favorite chicken breed of farmers, and they have invested money in it.
White-feathered chickensAccording toCCTV financial reportThe number of white-feathered chickens eaten by Chinese people every year is as high as 5 billion, and the chicken feet produced by white-feathered chickens alone are as high10 billion
From this, we can infer that the number of white-feathered chickens circulating in the market may be as high as 7 billion (including those that have not yet been consumed), and the number of chicken feet produced is about 13 billion (including the loss in the process).
A large part of the chicken feet circulating in the market in China come from white-feathered chickens.
However, many people will be worried, can white-feathered chickens grow so fast?
First of all, the genes of white-feathered chickens are like this, they grow fast and have high meat production, and the breeders do not need to fight them deliberatelyGrowth hormoneto ensure its growth level.
White-feathered chickensSecondly, China's market is becoming more and more perfect, and the entry threshold for businesses is also higher, after the inspection of relevant departments, as long as it is a white feather chicken purchased through formal channels, it can be eaten with confidence.
Therefore, you don't have to worry about the quality of white feather chickens.
In addition to white-feathered chickens,Yellow feather chickenIt is also an important breed of breeding in our country, and I believe that small partners in rural areas often see this kind of chicken breed, which is the favorite breed of farmers.
Yellow Feather Chicken'sThe culture cycle is longer, generally in 2 to 4 months, the meat production efficiency is not as high as that of white feather chickens, but it'sThe meat is firm and tastes betterNaturally, it is much more expensive.
According to data from the China Animal Husbandry Association, China consumes 4.5 billion yellow-feathered chickens every year, and according to the population of 1.4 billion, each person eats an average of 3.
Yellow-feathered chicken in the market of chicken feet, contributed about8 billion chicken feet(Counting the loss in the process).
Yellow feather chickenTherefore, in China, the annual output of chicken feet by yellow feather chickens and white feather chickens alone has exceeded people's consumption of chicken feet.
Coupled with other farmed varieties, it can be said that the amount of chicken feet on the market completely exceeds people's needs.
It is no wonder that many merchants do not hesitate to sell their products at a discount many times.
In addition to home-bred chicken breeds, China also imports a large number of chicken feet abroad, so that the types circulating in the market have become diverse.
Tiger skin chicken feet. Chicken has always been popular abroad, and they cook chicken into a variety of delicacies that are sought after by consumers.
But many foreigners do not have the habit of eating chicken heads, chicken necks, chicken feet, and chicken tails, and in European and American film and television dramas, a chicken on the table is often the existence of head and toe, which also reflects their consumption concept from the side.
Therefore, it is difficult to find chicken feet in Europe and the United Statesdomestic marketWhen sold, these chicken feet are usually made into pet rations.
After the opening of China's market, they exported these chicken feet to our country, as much as possibleMaximize your earnings
China happens to have broad market prospects, and a large number of chicken feet are imported every year.
Processed chicken feet.
Statistics in 2021 show that China has imported about 1 million tons of chicken feet from the United States and Brazil, which is equivalent to 1 12 of the chicken feet consumed by Chinese people.
Why is it that the chickens raised in China have been able to meet people's market demand, and they have to be imported from abroad?
The most important thing is:CheapAfter foreign chicken feet are transported to our country, they are usually frozen goods, and we have a reason to press ** very low, and people don't eat chicken feet very much, and ** low point can also be accepted.
We import so many chicken feet every year, and after simple food processing, they can be exported to foreign Chinese supermarkets to make profits.
The chicken feet made in China can be described as diverse, including pickled pepper chicken feet, tiger skin chicken feet, braised chicken feet, etc., and even some foreign friends who originally hated chicken feet "can't stop".
Chicken feet delicacies. Some of them will go to China specifically to buy "authentic" old signature foods to promote the development of the domestic economy.
This is repeated over and over again, and my country has instead ** thoseThe cost of imports, and promote the development of the domestic food industry, why not?
It is worth noting that although the circulation of chicken feet in the Chinese market is very rich, we should also be careful of those unscrupulous merchants"Poisonous" chicken feet
Due to the disorderly production of the market, sometimes the market is saturated and cannot be sold, so they can only freeze these chicken feet and wait for new market demand.
Some chicken feet can't be sold for a long time, and they no longer meet the food hygiene standards in the cold storage, but it's a pity to lose them, what should I do at this time?
At this time, bacteria are multiplying in large numbers.
It's very simple, they sell directly to some informal restaurants, ** the pressure is very low, anyway, it is better to sell it than to lose it.
And these restaurants are also willing to "pick up leaks", anyway, it is kitchen processing, and customers can't see it, especially in the takeaway industry, customers can't come to physical stores, and restaurants are even more arrogant.
Over time, a strip was formed** of the industrial chainEventually, the victim becomes a consumer.
Therefore, when you buy chicken feet, it is recommended to choose some regular, brand-protected merchants, or you can combine people's comments on the Internet to buy them.
