How To Increase The Weight of a Broiler Chicken!
Broiler rearing for meat is a very amazing, interesting and profitable experience. Whether you’re doing this on a large scale or small scale, it is a rewarding process.
Broiler rearing for meat is a very amazing, interesting and profitable experience. Whether you’re doing this on a large scale or small scale, it is a rewarding process.
The broiler chicken is a special species of poultry as it is scientifically made to produce more meat in a very short period of time say 4-6 weeks when they weigh around 1.2- 1.7kg. One of the most dominant Broiler chickens being reared for meat is the Cornish.
However Consumers nowadays want to buy big, healthy birds, so it’s up to poultry farmers to find ways to increase the weight of their broiler chickens as safely and naturally as possible.

This Special Issue of Animal Frontiers was written by a stellar interdisciplinary consortium of experts, to summarize the evidence on the societal impact of #meat. We hope that it may serve as a reference for future discussions on this vital topic.

Why do we need seniors to have access to a ketogenic diet to help ward off dementia? Because telling them to eat more fish and blueberries is woefully insufficient! Think I am making this up? I am not. It's time for a thread on a recent study. 🧵 (1/19)
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between consumption frequency of meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables and long-term risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease while taking into account the possibility of protopathic bias (i.e., reverse causation). (2/19)
The researchers analyzed data from the Three-city study, which followed 5,934 volunteers aged 65 and over for 12 years. (3/19)

Back in college, I was once appearing for a viva vôce of an economics related subject. The examiner asked us an out-of-syllabus question, "Why do you think the govt gives subsidies for poultry industry?" I will remain forever grateful to my 🧠 for bringing up the answer! Tiny🧵👇🏼
For reasons I still do not understand, my brain remembered something we are taught in primary school. Kwashiorkor is a disease caused by severe protein deficiency. Shamefully, children still die due to it in India. After getting reminded of kwashiorkor, I connected the dots.
I replied, "Kwashiorkor is still prevalent in India. By subsidizing the poultry industry, the govt is trying to increase supply of chicken. This will reduce prices of chicken thus making it more affordable to those who want to eat it. This can help reduce protein deficiency."

Let me start with #insulin. In the 1970s, insulin was extracted from the pancreas of animals. In the 1980s, @Genentech, working with Eli Lilly (@LillyPad), developed insulin using a new technology that I call #PrecisionFermentation. It wasn’t animal insulin. It was human insulin.
The mainstream would say: “health care is slow, it can’t be disrupted.”
Well, here’s the S-curve of #PrecisionFermentation human insulin. Human insulin disrupted animal insulin in about 13 years.

Are the charges against meat and livestock justified? Are we looking at this debate in a holistic way? Are we certain of the evidence against meat?
Or are policymakers afflicted by "Carbon Tunnel Vision" and not taking into account the multidimensional value livestock have to human health, rural livelihoods and ecosystem function?

Animals thrive best on diets resembling the ones to which they are physiologically adapted; it would be unlikely that Homo sapiens constitutes an exception to this principle. Any discussion on the healthiness of meat & other animal source foods should at least address this.
Homo sapiens emerged with the anatomical & physiological equipment of a habitual rather than facultative meat eater. Those who argue that the human diet is naturally herbivorous based on a phylogenetic relationship with apes overlook key divergences that occurred during evolution
This week, people have been discussing if eating #oysters conflicts with following a plant-based diet.

Although there is legal and scientific disagreement about #sentience, there are some standards that are broadly accepted.
According to @SentienceInst, sentience is simply the ability to have positive and negative experiences, including pain. 2/14

There are many issues with #Nutriscore. Here are some examples that illustrate its often nonsensical outcomes (note that the designers already tweaked the score of olive oil from D to C to accommodate criticism from Mediterranean countries)
But given that the entire thing seems designed to give the prevailing dogma a boost, based on the magic of #nutritionism (calories! fibre! saturated fat!), some remained rather unhappy with the fact that red meat is often scoring A/B. Imagine, suggesting that meat's good for you!

🟢40-60% of the weight of a slaughtered cow goes to making ground beef...
... and ground beef is by far the easiest meat product to replace with precision fermentation or cultivated meat.

The #climate wrecking livestock industry is barely profitable as it is.
Globally it is propped up by much of the $540bn spent on #agriculture subsidies per year.
In the UK 90% of an average livestock farm's profits come from subsidies.

With such tight margins, farmers have to sell every single part of a cow for the numbers to add up. This is known as the 'carcass balance'.
So, if that 40-60% of the carcass balance is replaced, the business model of farming and killing these sentient beings collapses.

Happy #WorldSnakeDay. #Snakes have an unfair reputation as being poisonous/ aggressive. Our fear of snakes may come from Christianity. Satan took the form of a snake tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden. Yet snakes aren't bad at all! They're critical to ecosystems around the world
#Snakes evolved 130 million years ago in the Cretaceous period from a common ancestor that they share with #birds and other #reptiles. They have cloacal spurs or vestigal limbs, which shows their shared ancestry with limbed reptiles. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍🐍🐍
#Snakes see on the infrared spectrum using heat receptors called pit organs making them epic predators with natural night vision goggles to see prey. Snakes have a detachable jaw which can swallow food whole that is much larger than its own body weight. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍💚
