Healthy Benefits

Chicken produces a healthy source of protein and many other nutritional benefits.

"Chicken is a significant source of daily requirements of protein, niacin, B-6, B-12, vitamin D, iron and zinc and gram for gram, skinless chicken is one of the lowest-fat meats around. Chicken, as one of the main sources of animal protein, contains all nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized in the body (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine). These proteins are essential as part of a healthy and balanced diet.

Many countries around the world are facing health issues that increase the demand for healthier forms of protein and nutritional benefits. These demands will increase the need for chicken. Chicken holds many of the daily requirements needed and recommended for protein and other nutritional values thus increasing the demand for its production."
