Poultry meat may become inaccessible to Russians - chicken producers said that the industry plunged into a deep crisis. In some poultry farms, because of a shortage of money, chickens simply stop feeding. Heads of one of the poultry farms of Orenburg fled, leaving employees without pay, and the chickens left hungry, reports REN TV. Problems in the industry began last year: the market received too much chicken, wholesale prices for poultry meat decreased by 30-40%, and enterprises began to go bankrupt and close. This year, the troubles did not end - in the summer, prices for feed and additives increased.

All these factors are reflected in the purses of ordinary buyers - the price of a chicken has recently increased significantly. "Some manufacturers resort to tricks. For example, change the composition of feeds: give cheaper feed, add. A mixture that reduces the cost of poultry and. deteriorate the quality, "- says food industry analyst Dmitry Edelev. To prevent chickens from falling ill, antibiotics are added to their food. Drugs can accumulate in the body, which leads to dangerous consequences for human health, doctors warn.
