![]() Made up the chicken feed as to the following table: To raise commercial chickens effectively, the research team has For commercial Dong Tao chickens, the survival rate has reachedĩ5% a hen at the age of 38 weeks of age weighs about 3.7 to 4.6 kg and a Is 65%, and the rate of hatching eggs out of the total number of eggs withĮmbryos is 95%. Generation: the rate of hatching eggs out of the total number of incubated eggs Stable and some indicators of quality are higher than the chickens of the zero Second-and-third generation Dong Tao chickens, all the indicators of quality are Particularly, theįirst-generation brood of chickens after 1 year’s exploitation of eggs producesħ0 eggs/ chicken/year, and all the growth indicators are good, too. Meeting required standards chosen in breeding broods is 35%. ![]() The rate of hens laying eggs with embryos is high, which is 72% thanks to theĪpplication of the artificial insemination method and the rate of chickens (Dong Tao chickens originate from here) and raise and breed the broods ofĬhicken of the first, second, and their generations.Īs a result, for the broods of chickens of the zero generation Tao chickens from Dong Tao commune in Khoai Chau district, Hung Yen province The requirements for food safety and hygiene and can be provided for consumers.ĭong Tao chickens in the model of the projectĪccordingly, the project has started to purchase 1-day-old Dong The commercial Dong Tao chicken products of Dong Nai province, which meet all True-breeding chickens of the first, second, and third generations and to create The project aims to breed and raise Dong Tao chickens in a way toīe adaptable to ecological and breeding conditions in Dong Nai (zero generationĭong Tao chickens) and simultaneously to create a brood of Dong Tao If Dong Tao chickens lay eggs, they incubate their eggsīy themselves and lay 70 eggs for 10 months. Tao hens start to lay eggs at their age of 160 days but they lay fewer eggs thanĬommon types of chicken. Range and eating natural bran without being forced to grow up to give meat. It takes Dong Tao chickens 1 to 1.5 years of being raised in free Dong TaoĬhickens are very difficult species, and they do not get used to being kept inĬaptivity. Vietnam whose genetic resources are being protected and a mature Dong TaoĬhicken can weigh up to 4.5 kg (rooster) and over 3.5 kg (hen). In Dong Nai’s environment and climate, Dat Viet Research and Production Co., Ltdĭong Tao chickens are a special, rare and valuable species of Scientific research into the productivity and adaptability of Dong Tao chickens With the fact that small, scattered and spontaneous livestock households andįacilities are raising Dong Tao chickens but none of them have conducted Growing demand for Dong Tao chickens in Vietnam and in Dong Nai as well and deal Master Phan Van Hai, Head of the project, said: “To meet the The bigger the legs are, the tastier,” he said.Special, rare and valuable species of Vietnam, whose genetic resources are “The best part of the Dong Tao chicken is the skin of their legs. Le Van Luan, who picked Hien’s chicken meat as a year-end gift for his business partners and elderly relatives, is a regular customer in Dong Tao. It is sometimes served boiled, but also fried, stewed or served with lemongrass. The meat of the Dong Tao chicken – which can reach up to 10kg – is prized for its tough and chewy texture and is also low in fat. “The more the chicken walks, the stronger and bigger their muscles are,” said Hien, who has been breeding chickens for more than 15 years. The key to the bird’s taste is its diet of corn and rice and the freedom it has to roam, Hien said.Īlthough the laying hens are kept in battery cages, which have been banned in some countries across the world, the chickens bred for meat are let loose in a small garden. ![]() Some are even entered into beauty contests. Hien’s prized 4kg bird, whose enormous legs make up around a fifth of its body weight, was sold for about US$150 (RM650) – but especially large pedigree chickens have been valued at more than 10 times that. The lumpy legs of the Dong Tao chicken – named after the commune where it is bred in northern Vietnam – are considered a delicacy, and are particularly popular among the wealthy during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, known as Tet.
