After nearly 2 years mobilizing and supporting farmers to breed and expand the 6-feet chicken raising model, the commune has over 1,400 chickens including 400 chickens for breeding and the others for commercial purposes.
This chicken breed is sold at twice or three times higher prices than other breeds thanks to its firm flesh, good smell and taste.
In line with the district’s support policy, the provincial People’s Committee will allocate fund to conduct the scientific project and technology to exploit and develop the genetic source of 6-feet chicken in Son Dong district in the period from 2023 to 2025.
