Nutrition expert clarifies hormone use in chicken feed after Shubra case
Fast growth in chickens is not dependent on the use of hormones, as nutrition expert Marwa Shaeer explained that growth hormones are not present in the commercial chicken production systems in Egypt and worldwide. The increase in chicken weight is attributed to the development of high-growth-rate breeds, balanced feeding programs, and precise health care. In modern fattening farms, chickens can naturally reach 2-3 kilograms within 35-45 days, and there is no need to use stimulants or hormones as a result of these processes. Additionally, the use of hormones in farms is not economically practical; instead, nutritional supplements and vitamins are commonly used. Meanwhile, prohibited substances like anabolic steroids pose potential health risks to humans when consuming the meat.
