What breeds of chicken are most eaten in the world?

Answer 1

Most meat breeds are not really breeds at all. Instead, they are hybrid varieties or a combination of many different breeds. The combinations of breeds are selected to produce a variety of bird with meat and other characteristics that the producer wants most. Some breeds grow faster and larger while others have traits like larger breast meat yield, more efficient feed conversion, or more disease resistance. These strains are often named after the breeding companies that genetically develop them, like Arbor Acres, Ross, Peterson and Hubbard.
