WHY CHOOSE HENPEC
Welcome Henpec Farm | Promise of Taste
Are hormones or steroids added to chicken?
Though it is rare, some marketers still classify their chicken as “hormone-free.” For one thing, that would result in unhealthy, unmarketable birds, and farming is about growing healthy, safe and nutritious food. For another thing, it would cost an outrageous amount of money. And finally, it’s against the law.
At Henpec Chicken Farm, the ethical treatment of animals and transparency in marketing techniques are non-negotiable aspects in the poultry farming industry. A common misunderstanding that periodically appears in the industry is the notion that chicken is “hormone-free.” While this claim may still appear in some marketing narratives, it is critical to emphasise that at Henpec, we adhere to a higher standard of honesty, ensuring that our consumers are well-informed about the reality of chicken production.
The idea that chicken is “hormone-free” is not only deceptive, but also impracticable and harmful to the chicks’ wellbeing. Henpec recognises that producing healthy, safe, and nutritious food is the foundation of sustainable farming. Artificially putting hormones into hens will result in unhealthy and unmarketable birds, jeopardising the very foundation of our quality commitment. Our farming procedures emphasise natural and sustainable ways that support the well-being of the chickens, ensuring that they grow in accordance with their genetic predispositions and in accordance with stringent industry standards.
So why do chickens grow so fast now? It’s because of a combination of things, including good breeding programs, excellent nutrition, and advances in housing systems that keep the birds comfortable at all times. But it’s not because of added hormones or steroids. Check out this page to find out more about how chickens are raised in India.
Nutrition is critical in promoting fast growth in chickens. Modern chicken farms place a premium on developing nutritionally balanced and customised feed for their flocks. These feeds are designed to suit the dietary needs of broiler chickens at various stages of development. Poultry farmers ensure that their chickens get the nutrition they need by feeding them a carefully balanced diet of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The dedication to proper feeding encourages not only accelerated growth but also the birds’ general health and vitality.
