The demand for “
Organic Kampung Chicken” is fast becoming the healthier choice of many families because it contains significantly less fat, free of chemical residue and tastier cuisines. Leaner cuts of organic kampung meat make chicken an even healthier protein choice, and speed up cooking time to make it a practical choice for daily cooking. Nobody likes to think of food that’s poisonous, but commercially-raised poultry often contains hormones, antibiotics and trace amounts of pesticides, all of which can be a potential health hazard. Furthermore, chicken that’s not commercially produced tends to be more tender and have better absorbing flavors, and consumers seem to prefer the taste of organic chicken.
AQINA, the ‘
Healthier Meat Choice’ provider, has been known as the leader of poultry farm for kampung chickens for the past 20 years, and is known as one of the largest kampung chicken production companies in the nation. Operating from a halal-certified slaughtering cum processing plant in Taman Perindustrian Ulu Choh, Pekan Nenas, Johor, Malaysia,
AQINA has an hourly production capacity of
6,000 heads of chickens.
AQINA’s expertise is in breeding kampung chickens the traditional way, by nurturing them organically and slowly, over
70 days to its optimal size, without antibiotics and growth hormones.
AQINA believes that slower growth, better diet and more exercise make their kampung chicken healthier, leaner and tastier. “
Slower-growing” chickens or “
kampung chicken” are chickens that can take almost twice as long to reach market weight because they do not convert feed to muscle as quickly.
Pleased to be the first in Malaysia to receive accreditation from the Malaysian Government with
MyOrganic and
MyGAP certification, Group Executive Director of
AQINA Group of Companies
