Abstract:

With the rapid development of ecological agriculture and the growing consumer demand for high-quality food, under-forest chicken farming, as a typical ecological circular agriculture model, plays a significant role in advancing rural revitalization and increasing farmers' incomes. Compared with traditional intensive farming systems, under-forest chicken farming demonstrates remarkable eco-friendly characteristics. It not only optimizes the utilization of forest resources and promotes a positive ecological cycle but also enhances the flavor and nutritional value of chicken meat and eggs. This paper summarizes the flavor and nutritional quality characteristics of under-forest chicken products, identifies the key factors affecting their quality, and proposes solutions to address the main challenges in industrial development. These findings aim to provide a robust theoretical foundation for the high-quality development of under-forest chicken farming.

Key words: under-forest chicken farming, ecological agriculture, product quality, influencing factor, sustainable development
