The broiler chicken is mainly raised by the international breeder companies from Europe and America. Through breeder chicken farms to develop the most efficient chicken. The simulate native chicken and native chicken is mating by the domestic breeder chicken farms. Because the off-white color of the feather, therefore it is called the colored chicken not the broiler chicken. The name of the Taiwan native chicken is due to the imported of the broiler chicken to distinguish between the chicken raise locally and the imported broiler chicken, distinguish from the foreign chicken.

It definitely will not use the hormone or growing hormone in today’s chicken farms.br>The rumor is due to the huge difference on the feed conversion rate between the Taiwan traditional native chicken and the imported broiler chicken back in 30 years ago. (refer to the chart for Taiwan native chicken vs broiler chicken) The broiler chicken only needs 35 days to reach over 2 Kg but it will require at least double of the time for Taiwan native chicken to reach the same weight. This will definitely will arouse the idea of using hormone, otherwise what account for this huge difference? The broiler chicken is globalizing product. The growing rate is indifference from Taiwan and the world. If it really injected hormone, MacDonald and Kentucky Fried Chicken would be going out of business long time ago. There are all chickens, why the huge differences between the Taiwan native chicken and broiler chicken? The main reason is the breeding, so called eugenics. The advance countries in Europe and America devoted long period of times and huge investment (thousands of dollars) to screen one generation to the next generations to produce the current broiler chicken. In other way to look at it, why the modern people do not need to inject the growing hormone but still taller than the parents? If both of the spouses are tall, after several generations under the arrangement, eliminate the bad influences for the marriage with the close relatives. We can say that the average height will reach beyond the imagination. Of course, the improvement of the nutrients is also can not be ignored. The nutrition unit and balance in the feed can attract the chickens easily with the improve raising techniques to accomplish this great results. How about Taiwan native chicken? Is it because of impurity of the breed? Let us look at this way, the Taiwan native chicken did not go through the perfect raising plan.

Because of that, it will let the chickens to have adequate growing period to complete development and maturity of the fiber so that the texture of the chicken will have its irreplaceable position in the gourmet food.

One can clearly see the different meat texture under the microscope for Taiwan native chicken and broiler chicken. The Taiwan native chicken has larger connective tissue surround the muscle tissue; it will require larger force to cut off the meat, reason for the chewy taste. The network of connective tissue surround the muscle is finer; therefore the degree of hardness will be lower than broiler chicken.
