Human Benefits of Chickens That Consume Forage
Friday, 13 November 2020
One of the biggest benefits of chickens being on forage is the impact that it has on meat and egg quality. Multiple research studies have been done that tested the nutritional value of eggs from chickens raised on forage. Although pastured chickens have an increase in amounts of Vitamins A and E, beta-carotene, and Omega-3 Fatty Acids, the pastured eggs have lower amounts of cholesterol and saturated fat. To be more specific, the USDA states that pasture-raised chickens produce eggs with 1/3 less cholesterol, ¼ less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, twice the amount of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, 3 times the amount of Vitamin E and 7 times the amount of beta carotene when compared to eggs produced from hens raised indoors on feed.
