Comparing the egg and meat productivity of various breeds, we can conclude:
- The choice of breed, its direction and productivity depends on the goals. If you bet on getting a large number of eggs in a short time, it is beneficial to take crosses. For example, Highsex Brown and Broken Brown. Their laying hens give 300-320 eggs per year, which makes it possible to get good profit when raising chickens per egg.
- Breeds that provide their owners with eggs, and in a couple of years will give a good meat carcass, are beneficial for a home compound. For example, Plymouth Rocks or Pushkinsky. The latter, in addition, are extremely resistant to frost, which is important for domestic private farmsteads.
- For industrial production, designed for egg mass, small hens are suitable. For example, Leggorn and Russian White. Private breeds are more suitable breeds of egg-meat and meat-egg direction, which, in addition to high egg production, have good indicators of meat productivity.
Egg chicken is an ideal poultry whose popularity cannot be surpassed by other animals. The secret of chicken is simple - it gives its owners two valuable products at once - delicious nutritious eggs and excellent dietary meat. Choosing a breed by productivity, you can pre-plan the output of eggs and meat, and hence your income.
