The grazing of rustic chickens is the option with which they intend to remedy the lack of feed in the Yateras municipality, in Guantánamo, in the midst of an acute shortage of eggs in Cuba.
In the Antonio Maceo Base Business Unit (UEB) they are building and adapting two warehouses that will house the birds and guaranteeing the medicines to house the chickens there from 84 days old, as revealed in a report on the local television station. 84 days oldSolvision.
The lack of feed, which aggravates egg production in the country, forces many producers to opt for this food solution that does not require industrial feed.
According to a producer from the UEB, with this method they intend to guarantee nine eggs per person distributed in the basic regulated basket, since rustic hens lay up to 200 eggs per year.
In several provinces they have adopted the raising of this type of chickens to which hectares are allocated where protein plants are planted.
Generally, sorghum, mulberry, sunflower, guava, among others, are planted as a guarantee for feeding the birds.
InHolguin, faced with the impossibility of producing chicken eggs, the industry had to resort to quail breeding to mitigate the shortage of eggs and their high prices in the domestic market.
The so-called Quail Program seeks to "produce proteins as quickly as possible" and they have already been soldmillions of eggs directly to the population.
The egg has become a highly coveted product by the people, while the official press blames the shortage on resellers and not on the Cuban food industry, which is unable to satisfy demand.
This protein is becoming increasingly scarce in Cuba, due to the inability of the national industry to produce feed to feed the chickens, while the government also does not have the money to import the food or its raw materials.
