meat of an animal the most expensive?Price analysis showed that by far the most expensive was the krokodilyatina (meat crocodiles).She gives a little bear meat, and then goes fatty goose liver - its price ranges from $ 45 to $ 48 per kilogram.France consumes foie gras in huge quantities.It annually produces more than 18 000 tons of meat per year.The researchers found that the liver promotes the excretion of cholesterol from the human body and improves metabolism.Therefore, the average life expectancy of French people living in the south, much higher than others.They remain active until old age.About sixty years ago, instead of goose liver began to use the liver mulard - crossbred ducks derived from crosses of musk duck drakes with females white Peking duck.It turned out that they contain a much cheaper and easier than geese.
musk ducks arrived in Europe
In 1944, Allied forces landed in southern France.American soldiers ate relatively well, they brought meat products in large refrigerators.In addition, Argentina and Uruguay, the United States purchased the beef cows and musk ducks.They carried on specially equipped boats to Europe in a live form.When military units were set up small farms, which are the holidays pleased his soldiers fresh meat.In France itself, the war felt a shortage of food, so the French sought ways to purchase products from the Americans.It so happened that some of musk ducks imported from Argentina, was the French.They began to breed them in their farms.One of the owners, Charles Bonnet, were Peking duck.All the ducks kept together.
BACKGROUND appearance mulard
situation has developed in such a way that the farm Monsieur Bonnet from all musk duck was only one drake.He actively mated with ducks white Peking breed.Those demolished eggs from which were derived ducklings.They grow surprisingly quickly, ahead of their peers.The appearance of them different from the ordinary ducks, because they were already mulard - ducks, which in many ways more like geese.Monsieur Bonnet could not distinguish ducklings by sex.To understand this vet was invited Anatole Groom, who, after examining all the available ducklings said that they are male.Part of the ducklings was put to fattening, and the other - left to the tribe (Charles Bonnet hoped that the vet made a mistake).Bird showed enviable weight gain in a special fattening technology "fat goose liver."Weighing post-mortem showed that all mulard duck liver are up to 500 g
mulard as an industrial appearance of bird species
veterinarian Anatole Groom had a lot of experience in the cultivation of mules - a cross between a donkey and a mare.The peculiarities, which had mulard duck, he noticed signs of asexual, like the fact that there are mules.Hence, the name coined by marvel-birds.He decided to experiment.I think of a way of getting musk duck duck semen and began to fertilize her white Peking duck.Those carrying eggs from a complex mating.The incubator launching new and new ducklings.Inquisitive explorer regularly conducted experiments on them, he shared his observations with Monsieur Bonnet.They were able to interest new ducks banker Pierre Sha Tonya, who created a company for the production of fatty liver.They were discharged from Argentina a few dozen musk ducks, bought the white Peking duck, and on the banks of the Loire was created farm.Mulard duck displayed daily in dozens, they grew rapidly, the business expanded.Restoration of the French after the war was going pretty intense.Accordingly, the income of the population increased, thereby creating a whole new trend in industrial poultry farming - growing mulard meat and fatty liver.Along the way, the duck-goose-mulard produces up to 120 grams of down, which is used for the production of down jackets.The price of this product today ranges from $ 125 to $ 135 per kilogram, more expensive goose, duck and high demand.
Job prospects in growing mulard
Time has shown that we have found a promising direction in the poultry industry.Currently, the number of countries growing birds on fatty liver has become one of the important components of the gross domestic product (GDP).For example, Hungary provides the European market more than 2,000 tons of fatty liver, which brings her over 80 million. Dollars annually.In France, the figure is much higher - about 800-850 mln. Dollars a year.Duck-mulard (picture above is her general view) is the "gold" bird, which is beneficial to grow in our country.Fashion for the foie gras came to us.Of course, the price of the product is quite high, but consumer properties are such that in the foreseeable future, the goods will be in demand in the Russian market.
