The reality of Dolyer It has been created with the intention of promoting the consumption of this type of bird, but it is also where that said Consumption can be made sustainable and massaging massively without millions of chicks.
For a world chicken day that competitions on sustainability
May 10 is the World Chicken Dayand Animal Latam Observatory emphasizes the need to deal with more ethical practices such as in OVO, a technology that can be done Avoid the mass sacrifice of male chicks in the egg industry.
Every year, in the egg industry, Millions of male chicks are sacrificed shortly after they are just born because he is not profitable: They cannot do eggs and their meat is not useful for fat. This practice, as cruel as invisible, could have the days counted thanks to a specific and already available solution in some countries of the world: the sex in OVO.
With this technology, the genus of the embryo can be identified before the Nazca chicken. In this way the incubation of eggs that contain men is avoided, preventing their birth and subsequent elimination.

In Peru, the bill 06448/2023-CR is being promoted together with the ARBA organization, which forms the “Peru Free of Cage” coalition, which promotes consumer’s right to have transparent information through mandatory labeling. This Measure also tries to prevent misleading advertisements and encourage practices that respect animal welfare.
