Chickens and eggs, being the primary protein source for majority of Malaysian consumer. Malaysia is one of the highest poultry consumers in the world. In 2014, the consumption per capita of Poultry meat is 46.6 Kg and the consumption per capita of chicken/ duck egg is 19.1 Kg. (Department of Statistics Malaysia ,DOSM). The industry has experienced high self-sufficient level, achieving 98.4% for poultry meat and 113.8 % for chicken/duck egg in year 2014. Poultry has been deemed as a more environmentally source of protein due to its low feed conversion ratio (How much feeds is required to convert into the weight of meat).

The overall production of this industry has expanded steadily, in line with the growth of local demand and exports to some countries. Malaysia currently exports live birds and processed poultry to Singapore and some Middle East country. Singapore being the largest poultry export market where over 1.716 millions live birds were exported every day in 2014. Malaysia is taking advantage of its geographical proximity to penetrate Singapore’s market.

Development of the industry in Malaysia is supported by good production technology. Technologies used:

·         Closed house system that integrates cooling system (extreme hot weather will cause productivity to drop

·         Pest and pollution control (densely populated farming area causes

·         Waste management

Development of broiler industry is in-line with the national policy. National Agriculture Policy (1998-2010) and National Agro-food Policy (2011-2020).

·         National Agro-food Policy: To ensure the industry be sustained as a competitive industry. Modern technologies such as closed house system, automation and effective microorganism as natural control agents are encouraged.

"Harvesting: when bird reach minimum weight of 2.2 Kg (30-33 days)".

Definitely wrong.

30-33 days for fast food industry, maybe 1.6-1.8KG live weight. Dressed chicken 1.15-1.25KG roughly.

38-42 days 2.2KG lah. For 白切雞
