This method greatly reduces the risk of disease because the chickens are not in direct contact with the ground and can stay clean.
This environment also reduces stress on the hens and promotes natural movement, which in turn improves muscle quality.
In addition, proper exercise control allows the chickens' muscles to develop at the right level, resulting in an even richer texture and flavor.
