The use of growth factors is not allowed, and the minimum age of slaughter is 77 days. Its flesh is consistent, shiny and tastier.

Attributes and nutritional properties
Chicken is white meat, low fat and easy to digest. One feature to keep in mind is that this fat is located under the skin and therefore can be easily removed. It stands out for its content in folic acid, which plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells, and vitamin B3, essential to take advantage of food energy. In addition, it contains potassium, which contributes to maintaining the balance of body fluids, and phosphorus, which is necessary for all chemical reactions in the body.
