Choosing the best chicken for export
Choosing the best chicken for export depends on the destination . For example , halal chickens are suitable for Muslim
countries , organic chickens for Europe and chickens of a certain weight for Asian and African markets . If the export
destination is Islamic countries , it is necessary to ensure halal slaughter and have the relevant certificate . This issue
directly affects the demand of the product . Following are the important features and points that should be considered
when choosing chicken for export :
1 . Meat quality :
– Broiler chickens : For export, high quality broiler chickens with soft meat and mild taste are more popular . Chickens
that have been raised in good sanitary conditions and fed a standard diet usually have better meat quality .
– Size and weight : different markets may have different demand for chicken size and weight . In general , chickens of
medium weight (1.5 to 2.5 kg ) are more popular in world markets .
2 . Health conditions and standards :
– Health certificates : Chickens that have health certificates from valid authorities and have all international standards
such as HACCP , ISO and Halal certificates ( for Islamic countries ) are ideal for export .
– Complying with international standards : Many destination countries have specific standards for importing chicken meat
that must be met . These standards can include such things as the amount of fat the type of chicken feed and the
conditions of slaughter and packaging .
3 . Freshness and durability :
– Fresh or frozen chicken : depending on the export destination , there may be a demand for fresh or frozen chicken . In
both cases , it is important that the chicken is stored and transported in the right conditions to maintain its quality .
– Proper packaging : The packaging of chicken should be such that it prevents the penetration of air , moisture and
bacteria and guarantees the shelf life of the product .
4 . Types of chicken :
– Broiler : This type of chicken is raised for meat production and reaches the right weight for slaughter in a short period
of time (usually 6-7 weeks) .
– Laying chicken : This type of chicken is bred to produce eggs . Laying hens can produce up to 300 eggs per year .
– Organic chickens : In some markets , especially in European countries the demand for organic chickens raised without
the use of antibiotics and hormones is increasing .
– Native chickens : In some markets , especially in Iran’s neighboring countries , native chickens that have different taste
and quality may be more in demand .
5 . The ability to provide timely and continuous :
– Production capacity : the ability to provide continuous and timely export orders is very important . Foreign customers
are usually looking for suppliers who can supply chicken in a stable and high volume .
– Trade agreements : having long-term contracts with customers and making valid trade agreements can help to
maintain export markets .
