Abstract
On any day, over 200 million chickens are slaughtered for food, a figure that excludes unproductive laying hens killed in the egg production chain and newly born male chicks deemed unsuitable for meat production. It amounts to over 2.3 thousand chickens killed per second, representing more than 95% of all land animals slaughtered for food on this planet [1] .
