全球每年有60 億新孵化的雄性小雞因不生蛋、體重無法急速增加而被「處死」。為阻止這場「殺戮」,荷蘭、美國、以色列等國家已開發新科技,在雞蛋孵化前就弄清楚雞的性別,終止這場年年無謂的殺雞行動,然而,這個也是和在華南地區包括香港人食雞習慣有關係,普遍認為雞項(即是雌性)肉質比雄性雞更嫩,導致消費者傾斜只挑選「雞項」,雞蛋工業每年殘殺逾數十億初生雄雞,我們為支持業界平衡發展,尊重生命,消費者每購買一隻嘉美雞項,我們配對一隻雄性雞(嘉美少爺雞)以優惠價錢出售給消費者,用行動改善雞場對待動物情況,平衡性別差異,改變業界「要乸唔要公」的陋習,讓消費者知道重視生命才是最重要。
雖然外國事實上,外國有新鑑別技術,在雞蛋受精時可辨認性別,避免犧牲生命,而先孵後殺,然而在本港未配合相關技術支持,我們鼓勵消費者選購嘉美少爺雞,以減少在香港每年至少有1,200,000隻雄性小雞因雞農放棄飼養而宰殺。
少爺雞在推出市場時其雄性生殖腺尚未成熟,而雞冠亦未長大。因此,其雄性荷爾蒙與雌激素含量較低所以稱為少爺雞,而有一個講法是食用過多雌激素可致癌。公雞肉性燥熱,不宜多食,多食易生熱動風,雄激素的減低可降低此不良效果。
歡迎你來我們餸您健康選購嘉美少爺雞。
Change the fate of male chicks, it’s up to you
Every year, 6 billion newly hatched male chicks are “killed" for not laying eggs and failing to gain weight rapidly. In order to stop this “killing", the Netherlands, the United States, Israel and other countries have developed new technologies to find out the sex of chickens before the eggs hatch, ending this useless killing of chickens every year. However, this is also the same as in southern China. Including Hong Kong people’s eating habits of chickens. It is generally believed that the meat of chickens (that is, females) is more tender than that of male chickens, which leads consumers to choose only “chicken items". The egg industry kills more than billions of newborn roosters every year. To support the balanced development of the industry and respect life, every time a consumer buys a Jiamei chicken item, we match a male chicken (Jiamei Young Master Chicken) to sell it to consumers at a preferential price, and take actions to improve the treatment of animals in chicken farms and balance gender differences. Change the industry’s bad habit of “do not want to be public", and let consumers know that valuing life is the most important thing.
Although foreign countries actually have new identification technology, they can identify the gender of eggs when they are fertilized, and avoid sacrificing their lives by hatching first and then killing them. However, there is no relevant technical support in Hong Kong. We encourage consumers to buy Jiamei Young Master Chicken to reduce the risk of In Hong Kong, at least 1,200,000 male chicks are slaughtered every year because chicken farmers abandon their breeding.
When the Young Master Chicken was introduced to the market, the male gonads were immature and the combs were not yet grown. Therefore, its male hormone and estrogen content is low, so it is called young master chicken, and there is a saying that eating too much estrogen can cause cancer. Rooster meat is hot and dry, and it is not advisable to eat more. Eating more is easy to generate heat and wind. The reduction of androgen can reduce this adverse effect.
