Why is the chicken turning yellow?

Chickens can turn yellow for a variety of reasons. Here are some common ones:

1. Dietary problems: Too much yellow pigment in the feed will cause the chicken body surface to turn yellow. For example, feeds such as corn and soybeans are rich in yellow pigments. Excessive intake may easily lead to yellowing of the chicken body surface.

2. Disease problems: Some diseases may also cause yellowing of chickens, such as hepatitis, gallbladder disease, etc. These diseases may affect the chicken's endocrine system, causing yellow pigment to be deposited on the chicken's body surface.

3. Other reasons: Other reasons include environmental factors, genetic factors, etc., for example, being exposed to the sun for too long or the feathers of the parent chickens are inherently yellow, etc.

It should be noted that yellowing of the chicken body does not necessarily mean that there is a physical problem with the chicken, but this situation may affect the sales and market competitiveness of the chicken. Therefore, in order to prevent the chicken body surface from turning yellow, you can take the following measures to prevent it:

1. Properly mix feeds: Properly mix feeds to avoid excessive intake of certain nutrients or adding too much yellow pigment.

2. Improve the sanitary environment: keep the chicken house clean and ventilated, and strengthen disinfection measures to prevent the spread of diseases and infections.

3. Follow breeding standards: Follow scientific breeding standards and regulations, and pay attention to adjusting breeding density and feeding methods.

4. Treat diseases promptly: If abnormalities are found in chickens, diagnosis and treatment should be carried out promptly to avoid affecting breeding efficiency.
