alert, something else to worry about w/r to diet our chickens here in HK usually speak French and is allegedly free-range organic, as they make the best soup, and Hainan chicken rice. Kids like them because they look traditional. When not French-speaking, our chickens speak a mountain dialect from China, occasionally black, of a singular breed, also free range etc etc regions, Silkie - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Silkie ... and at other times free-flying xinhuanet.com TIANJIN, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Hu Jinyan, 58, used her smartphone to watch real-time videos of chickens' living conditions and their surroundings through a visualization system installed in her chicken breeding base. As the general manager of the base in north China's Tianjin Municipality, Hu has made good use of high-tech to expand her chicken-raising business. With the product tracking system, customers can log into their WeChat accounts, the largest social networking platform in China, to get full information of the chickens and eggs, according to Hu. In addition, she can also use these "eyes" to better raise the chickens, she added. Now, more than 50,000 chickens with white bellies, black tails and red cockscombs live on the 200 hectares of the base, nesting in about 30 chicken sheds built on the top of mountains in the area. "Our chickens run freely in the mountain. They eat worms, potherbs and wild fruits during the day, and we feed them mixed corns and bran without any additives at night," Hu said. but societally across the planet, there may be a problem. bloomberg.com White Striping Disease Hits 99% of U.S. Supermarket Chicken, Study Finds Amelia Pollard 20 September 2021, 08:00 GMT+8 Ten years ago, the poultry muscle disease known as white striping was almost nonexistent. Now, the fat-boosting ailment shows up in 99% of U.S. store-brand chickens, according to a Humane League study to be released Monday. The animal-welfare nonprofit conducted an investigation in 29 states that found the affliction in virtually all grocery-store-brand chickens sampled. The illness is driven by the extreme conditions of factory farming, which turbocharges the raising process to a matter of weeks and puts undue physical stress on the animals, the Humane League said. The disease’s name comes from its visible side effect: thin white stripes that appear on the meat’s surface. With the chickens unable to bear the weight of their own bodies, the disease causes the birds to replace some of their muscle tissue with fat. As a result, chickens with white striping have fat content that is 224% higher than those without the affliction. The illness also decreases the meat’s protein content by 9%. Affected meat doesn’t taste any different than normal chicken, however. Of the 16 major supermarket chains surveyed, Walmart Inc., BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings Inc. and Meijer Inc. were found to carry chicken products with the most severe levels of white striping. Chicken producers have wrangled with the adverse effects of fattening up their chickens before. In 2016, the birds were plagued with a “woody” texture. Since then, despite pledges to seek lower average weights, little has changed on the fattening front. “Consumers just really don’t have a choice right now, which is frustrating,” said Michael Windsor, the corporate projects lead at the Humane League. “If you wanted to avoid white-striped chicken, they’re just not offering it.” Before it's here, it's on the Bloomberg Terminal.
