Iran Able to Produce 2.3 Million Tons of Chicken Meat Annually
The ministry has also announced that Iran is among the top 10 countries in the world in establishing a chicken meat production line.
A memorandum was signed by the head of Iran’s Veterinary Organization and Gholam Ali Forouqi, the head of the Iranian Chicken Meat Chain Producers Association.
This cooperation is aimed at providing health supervision over various integrated chicken meat production chains, facilitating the production of safe and exportable products, and implementing international standards such as HACCP, GMP, and GHP.
The main objectives of the memorandum include complying with current country laws, creating a unified approach in administrative affairs, developing sustainable exports, and updating the national program to improve the health quality of chicken meat.
Chicken line is one of the best breeds in the field of food security and Iran is one of the six countries in the world that owns Arian crossbreed chicken line.
In fact, a pure population of special animals (both livestock and poultry) that belong to a specific breed with well-defined genetic specifications and only mate with pure animals of the same race and are also capable of producing animals similar to themselves, are called animal line.
The Biotechnology Development Headquarters of Iran’s Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology has realized the importance of having animal lines and seeks to expand the production and commercialization of chicken lines and revive this important and strategic industry in the country.
Therefore, it has defined serious plans for the development of the domestic market of chicken line in Iran which are being implemented with the help of governmental organizations and knowledge-based companies.
