2) Antibiotic-free.
According to a study done in the Netherlands, slow-growing broilers require six times less antibiotic-treatment than do traditional broiler breeds.
3) Animal welfare
Toudic pointed to a study conducted by the Research Institute for Animal Husbandry, which revealed that slow growing breeders were five times less likely to develop heart and vascular diseases.
