When the desire for meat began to increase in the whole world, from 1920 to 1930, new varieties of beef were introduced, which we call broiler chicken meat.
It was produced in only a few countries in the years 1920 to 1930 like Georgia, New England, Arkansas, and Delmarva peninsula, etc.

Broiler chicken production process
With the increase in the population of the world, the need for food also started increasing; the desire for chicken also started increasing, in the past, domestic poultry whose growth was very slow, the chicken was not able to be fulfilled.
Therefore, the scientists planned to grow chickens in an artificial way, which had been experimented with since 1916, but in 1930, the scientists had been able to create a new breed by crossbreeding the Cornish male hen and the female hen named Plymouth rock which is the current broiler chicken.
In the 1960s, this broiler chicken started gaining popularity and usage increased worldwide. This crop was specially prepared for meat production.
Which are prepared in only 4 to 7weeks and they weigh 2 to 2.5 kg, which is not possible in a natural way.
The hen laying eggs in them is called layer hen, which has been born only to lay eggs. The same egg is stored in the pedigree stock hatchery at a temperature of 45 to 60 degrees, then the chicken is removed from it, then it is fed to the farm. Then they can eat for 4 to 7 weeks.

Broiler chicken side
effects
But this has not been proved right now due to health. It has a very significant side effect that we will discuss now.
Broiler chickens have countless side effects, some of which we will discuss here. Broiler chicken is used to grow a lot of medicines quickly.
When we eat it, we have to face heart, lung, bone, and obesity problems. Let's know in detail.
1) Antibiotic Resistance
Broiler chicken is kept in very small and very dirty places because it causes very high chances of epidemic outbreaks.
When one chicken gets the disease, then everyone is affected and due to this, many chickens die. To avoid this damage, these broiler chickens are given a type of antibiotic.
When we eat meat, that antibiotic gets absorbed in our body, because of that, we have to face antibiotic resistance, due to which the immunity can go very low and we keep getting sick again and again.
2) Dangerous Growth Hormones
Broiler chicken is cultivated only for commercial use, due to this, the farmers are thought to grow it very quickly, so they are given a variety of growth hormones that give chickens to work within 2 to 6 weeks it will be growing up to 2kg to 2.5 kg.
When we eat meat, that growth hormone reaches inside our body, because of this, there are many diseases, such as obesity, impotence, and girls coming to an early sexual assault to cope with such dangerous diseases. Apart from this, there is a sense of harmony among the people due to hormonal changes.
3) Harmful Fat
Broiler chicken is given a nutritional supplement of one kind with a higher fat content for quicker growth. Due to this, broiler chicken gets thicker quickly.
The fat content inside them is high and the meat is small in size. We eat this thinking that we will get more meat and protein in the desired quantity but due to this we get neither more meat nor more protein but only the quantity of fat is very high, due to which we have to face many diseases like diabetes, Dangerous diseases such as high blood pressure, heart problems and kidney problems may be encountered.
In this way, there are non-essential hairs in the body due to hormonal changes like hair in the face of girls. This type of growth hormone also affects thyroid glands using hormones.
The thyroid gland is a prominent part of the throat. The particular type of hormones that are released will increase the height of a human being.
The growth hormones that are enlarged by eating this type of chicken, they become victims of diseases like shortness of human height, stomach ulcers, and digestion.
4) Causes Cancer
Broiler chicken is cooked at when high temperature like chicken tandoori, chicken tikka, etc. Heterocyclic amines and polycyclic amines release deadly hydrocarbons from them, which makes us prone to cancer of the prostate and breast.
For the fast growth of broiler chicks, these chickens are given steroids which the bodybuilders use to fill their body before the time.
Steroids have also been considered slow poisoning. Due to which fatal diseases like cancer, kidney failure occur.
5) Food Poisoning
When too much quantity is placed in the farmer, to make more profit from this broiler chicken, much less space.
So broiler chickens have been doused with a lot of deadly bacteria. When we eat from it, we have to face the disease like vomiting and diarrhea due to food poisoning.
Is it safe to eat broiler chicken?
The desire for broiler chicken is very high as it is easily available in the market and cheaper than country chicken. But did the food make it right for health?
Eating broiler chicken is a detrimental factor in health because it is kept in a very small space and is very dirty, often causing chickens to suffer from a large number of epidemics, and to recover from the disease.
Different types of Antibiotics are given. When we eat it, the antibiotic enters our body and makes us antibiotic-resistant, which can be our anti-inflammatory work.
Apart from this, a lot of growth hormones, injections are also given, which is not well at all. Especially children should not be fed at all. Because they cause many hormonal diseases.
If you want to eat from it then you can eat it in plenty. If you do bodybuilding then you can consume it. In my opinion, you should use country chicken instead of broiler chicken even though it is expensive because the amount of protein and muscles in it is more than that of broiler chicken and there is no side effect in it.
some queries arise from people
1) Are broiler healthy?
Broiler chicken is not as healthy as it comes to the market after the use of a very bad chemical. Consuming it can lead to many health problems.
2) Is broiler bad for health?
Conclusion

Now let me tell you my own opinion that you should stop using this broiler chicken. Because it can face more harm than benefits, if you do bodybuilding, you can use country chicken to gain muscle because it has more protein and muscle than broiler chicken and country.
Fat and carbs are not found much in chicken. Apart from this, if you want more protein, you can also go towards lentils because there is a lot of protein in pulses than broiler chicken.
