What Is Organic Chicken?
Summary:
We all know about organic fruits and vegetables, but did you know you can also buy organic chicken?The conditions in which broiler chickens?"bred for their meat?"are raised are often concerning. These chickens typically have the floor space equivalent to an A4 sheet and are overfed to reach slaughter weight in just six weeks instead of the natural four months.
Understanding Organic Chicken
Modern intensive poultry farming has made chicken meat affordable, but it comes with drawbacks. Often, up to 40,000 chickens are crammed into a single, windowless building with continuous artificial light. They are given growth-promoting drugs, which not only stress the birds but can also contribute to disease outbreaks.
However, organic farming strives for natural rearing methods. Organic chickens are not given routine antibiotics; they are treated only when necessary. Their diet consists of specially formulated feed made from cereals, vegetable protein, a small amount of fish meal, and vitamins and minerals?"free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). To be fully organic, chickens are fed grain grown without artificial fertilizers or sprays, which makes organic chicken more expensive.
On Soil Association-certified farms, the number of chickens per shed is limited to 1,000, compared to the 40,000 found in non-organic farms. Organic chickens are kept free-range with continuous daytime access to clean pasture unless the weather is poor. Non-organic chickens are usually confined at all times.
Additionally, the Soil Association mandates clear labeling of processed chicken products, ensuring all ingredients can be traced back to their farm of origin. Their certification requires that food undergo minimal processing.
Organic standards are legally binding. All organic businesses must be licensed and are inspected at least annually. If you're curious about the rearing practices, consider visiting an organic farm.
