broilers

Broilers are a type of chicken specifically raised for meat production. They are bred to grow quickly and develop a tender, flavorful carcass suitable for consumption. Typically, broilers are raised in controlled environments to optimize growth and health, reaching market size in about 6 to 8 weeks. They are an important part of the poultry industry, providing a significant source of affordable protein. The term "broiler" distinguishes these chickens from other types such as layers, which are raised primarily for eggs. Their efficient growth and large size make broilers a common choice for meat products worldwide.
