Why do chickens like to eat earthworms, and why do chicks like to eat earthworms?

For chickens, earthworms are meat all over their bodies. It's bigger.

Because it's an earthworm, it loves it!

Hehe, you'd better ask the chicken, maybe it's a habit.

It is an animal instinct that chickens like to eat insects, just like cats like to eat fish and dogs like to eat meat, and the existence of chicken beaks is to facilitate pecking, and the same is true for eating insects.

Nowadays, many chicken farms mainly use maggots, wheat grass and other unique feed to raise chickens, I heard that "insect chicken" tastes smooth skin and sweet meat, and hens eat more insects will lay more eggs.

Scientists analyzed bloodworms (small insects) and found that they contained 40% protein. In order for hens to make eggs, they especially need raw materials to make proteins. Therefore, the more the hen eats the worm, the more eggs will be laid.

In addition, a hen needs vitamins and various minerals to make an egg. Calcium and phosphorus, for example, are important components of eggshells and yolks. These ingredients are also found in bugs.

Yes. Earthworms themselves contain nutritional value, are high in protein, and are also one of the favorite foods of chickens.

Earthworm is a particularly high-quality animal protein**, if the chicken often eats it, the coat color is shiny, the spirit is good, and the probiotic flora can also play a role in disease prevention. The egg protein of the hen is sufficient, the taste will be better, and the color of the egg yolk will be more ruddy.

Earthworms are rich in nutrition, rapid reproduction, miscellaneous diets, and high yield in artificial breeding. Good economic benefits.

Earthworms can be used as a valuable medicine** for many diseases, and can also be used as high-protein food and feed. Earthworms dig holes to loosen the soil, decompose organic matter, create good conditions for the growth and reproduction of soil microorganisms, and play a special role in soil improvement, elimination of pollution, protection of the ecological environment, material cycle, biodiversity, etc.

The extraction rate is generally more than 75%, the protein accounts for 56%-65% of the dry weight bond elimination, the free amino acid content is 50-70g l, and contains 10 kinds of essential amino acids, which are higher than soybean protein. Earthworms are high in unsaturated fatty acids.

The content of saturated fatty acids is low, especially the linoleic acid content that has the functions of anti-cancer, lowering blood pressure, preventing arteriosclerosis, and maintaining beauty, which is very suitable for the nutritional fashion pursued by modern people, and also has a unique tridecanoic acid that is different from other animals. Earthworms raised on agricultural and sideline products can be used as a safe food resource with high nutrition.
