On the morning of November 1, in Cam Hoang commune (Cam Giang), the Department of Science and Technology coordinated with the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture to organize a workshop on the topic "Using herbal supplements in commercial chicken farming in the direction of safety, quality and high economic efficiency in the province".
The project was carried out at 3 households in Quy Khe village (Cam Hoang commune). The pilot chicken breed is crossbred chicken, with a scale of 750 chickens/household, and a raising period of about 105 days. Households participating in the model are supported with 50% of the breed, vaccines, and disinfectants. The herbal mixture used includes anise, single gold, and pearl.
As a result, chickens fed with herbal supplements grew well, had few diseases, and had delicious meat. After deducting expenses, the chickens raised gave the highest profit of over 51,000 VND/chicken.
The project will be implemented until 2024 to evaluate its effectiveness more clearly.
