Aug 02nd, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Strangely enough, before 2003 we were the worlds #1 exporter of meat, I wonder what happened?
Aug 02nd, 2012 - 03:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh! of course the Kirchners happened.
I a couple of years we'll be on the way to being the worlds largest exporter of frogs or something!!!!
I buy Argie chicken. It is better and less expensive than the local product in my humble opinion. Oddly, it is very scarce and only a couple of supermarkets stock it.
Aug 02nd, 2012 - 03:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ins't KFC telling ARg that it really is small cows lol.
Aug 02nd, 2012 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Exports? why on Earth are they exporting the stuff, I thought Argentina didn't need the rest of the world or their dollars....
Aug 02nd, 2012 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for this;
“In 1970 it took 2.8 kilos of balanced food for a kilo of chicken and 75 days for a broiler chicken of 2,500 kg. In 2010, two kilos of food was required to do the same balanced kilo of chicken and 46 days for a broiler chicken of 2,760 kilos. Since the incorporation of technology in the production chain, for 2017 producers are going to need 1.7 kilos of food and 38 days for a broiler chicken of 2,800 kilos”
Amazing what you can do with dodgy additives isn't it?
Bon Appétit
@5 I bought a frozen RG chicken in Chile a few months ago..... it only had one leg... quality control isn't RGs strong suite.....

Mutant GM chickens, scary.
Lovin' the photo of Minister Giorgi in the article: “I eat intensively grown Argentine chicken every day, never did me any harm” (twitch twitch, drool)
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 01:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0I guess it also answers the question of how Argentina's glorious leader came to resemble a plucked turkey. The incorporation of technology in the production chain is a marvellous thing.
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 01:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0@9 Condorito It had the thigh but what remained of the leg looked as if it had been in a rabbit trap.
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 03:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0I have heard that if you eat too much chicken you start to grow man-boobs.....

Chickens producing Chickens!
Argentine chicken is toxic. The stuff they feed them on is disgusting.
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0As long as they don't export it to Uruguay.
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 01:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The local chicken is lovely and moderately priced, we don't need cheap ArgieCrap © ChrisR to destroy our local producers. :o)
100,000 tonnes to Venezuala? And Dead Man Walking thinks it was the yanks who gave him cancer - he needs to look further south.

Aug 03rd, 2012 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Send some fo that good chicken to Chile. It is impossible to get here.
There was a case a few years back in Chile when rats were feeding off battery chicken feed and had grown to 1/2m in length!

Maybe it was free range and they have to trap them =)
@ in the UK I had shooting rights to 1.500 hectares, providing I kept the vermin on the farms down.
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 03:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0625,000 chickens in battery 'sheds', very few rats, all of normal size. The reason? Good husbandry of the food and waste products (stilt system). Got rid of it all every week-end using Bobcats. Big operation farm.
Every year I started the vermin shooting with a 0.177 air rifile shooting the flying vermin as they sat on the waste accumulated during the week. As they got used to me and landed further away I progressed to 20g shotgun, 12g shotgun, and then 0.22rf lr with sound moderator. I drew the line at 0.223Rem (5.56 NATO) which I used for fox.
No shooting in Uruguay. :o(
Maybe Argentine's should pay a visit to the british embassy the consul and all british corporates offices and factories and land owners in Argentina to protest british actions against the dead to the living. Let's vandalized those who can fend for themselves, and claim the higher moral grounds.
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 03:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good news =)
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 05:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0well done on making more chickens but what happened to the beef?
Aug 03rd, 2012 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0oh you blocked exports of beef so everyone moved to soja and now chicken?
Uruguay exported more beef last year..... its a tiny country.
more propaganda shite from the botox dictator
