Farm Darag Chicken Breeding
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 30 May 2020
As commercialization of the animal production sector increases, native stocks are continuously upgraded (hybridization with foreign breed) for mass production to meet the food demand of the population. It has been observed that diversity in the country’s native chicken species is declining due to hybridization and replacement of traditional stock. Another threat is the high demand from Fast-food chains. Traditionally, the authentic chicken inasal, a Filipino way to prepare this meat, uses native chicken, but are now often found made with 21-day-old chickens grown at an industrial scale. The Darag chicken faces the danger of extinction.
