Ayam Kampong hens left to forage lay about 55 [7]: 9 or 100 [4] brown eggs per year, with an average weight of 39 g. [7]: 9 The poor performance as an egg producer is attributed to the broodiness of the hens. [4] In meat production, birds reach a market weight of 1–1.5 kg in three or four months. [4]
Fibromelanosis is also found in some other black or blue-skinned chicken breeds, such as the Silkie. [6] [7] The roosters weigh 2–2.5 kg (4.4–5.5 lb) and the hens 1.5–2 kg (3.3–4.4 lb). The hens lay tinted or cream-colored eggs, although they are poor setters and rarely hatch their own brood.
In 2018 the FCR of broilers is about 1.5, or 1.5 kg of feed to produce 1 kg of meat. [2] This compares very favorably with other sources of meat. It is estimated that broilers produce 6 kg of greenhouse gas per 1 kg of meat, as compared to 60 kg GHG /kg for beef cattle. [3] In the 1980s, it was typical to produce a 2 kilogram chicken in 70 days.
Mass production of chicken meat is a global industry and at that time, only two or three breeding companies supplied around 90% of the world's breeder-broilers. The total number of meat chickens produced in the world was nearly 47 billion in 2004; of these, approximately 19% were produced in the US, 15% in China, 13% in the EU25 and 11% in Brazil.
More recent FAO figures (2009) have taken the earlier discrepancy into account, resulting in a significantly lower 95.2 kg (210 lb) for Denmark (13th in the world). [ 7 ] [ 8 ] When further adjusted for loss, calculations by DTU Fødevareinstituttet suggest the actual consumption was 48 kg (106 lb) per adult.
