Broileri

Broileri is the Finnish word for broiler chicken, a domesticated fowl raised specifically for meat production. These chickens are distinct from laying hens, which are bred for egg production. Broiler chickens are characterized by their rapid growth rate, efficient feed conversion, and muscular physique, making them ideal for commercial meat farming.

The term "broileri" encompasses the entire lifecycle of these chickens, from chick to table. They are typically raised in controlled environments, often in large flocks, where factors such as temperature, ventilation, and feed are carefully managed to optimize growth and health. The diet of broiler chickens is specifically formulated to meet their nutritional needs for rapid muscle development.

The meat produced from broiler chickens is a common and versatile source of protein consumed globally. It is known for its tender texture and mild flavor, making it suitable for a wide variety of culinary preparations. In Finland, as in many other countries, broiler meat is a staple food item, readily available in supermarkets and used in numerous traditional and modern dishes. The production and consumption of broiler chickens are subject to regulations concerning animal welfare and food safety.
