1) Carcass and meat quality
Toudic notes that research showed that broiler meat coming from the slow-growing Label Rouge breeding stock, commonly marketed in France, showed a higher filet dry matter and higher protein content when compared to conventional broilers
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. The same organization’s research also showed that slow-growing breeds also experienced three times less trouble walking
4) Sustainability
According to Toudic, there are sustainability benefits from slow-growing broiler production that encompass environmental issues, economics and social issues.
5) Image and product differentiation
