Gushi Chicken Eggs

Gushi Chicken Eggs

　　Gushi Chicken Eggs are a specialty of Gushi County, Xinyang City, Henan Province. "Gushi Native Chicken Eggs" have captured the national market with their premium quality, delicious taste, rich nutrition, and health benefits, and have been certified as China's "Green Food" and awarded the "Geographical Indication" certification.

　　Gushi County is located at the junction of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces and is a national-level ecological demonstration zone. Its unique natural environment has given rise to a world-renowned local chicken breed — the "Gushi Chicken." Hence, there is a saying that the "Gushi Chicken" is named after "Gushi County," and "Gushi County" is made famous by the "Gushi Chicken." Live chickens and fresh eggs were tributes to the imperial court during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Starting in the 1950s, they were exported to Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia, and in the 1960s and 1970s, they were designated as special supply products for the three major cities of Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. The "Gushi Chicken" has long been hailed as the "King of Chinese Native Chickens," and "Gushi Chicken Eggs" are known as the "Ace Eggs." In addition, testing and analysis by the China Green Food Development Center and the Food College of China Agricultural University have shown that Gushi Chicken and Gushi Chicken Eggs contain significantly higher levels of various aromatic compounds compared to control breeds. Taurine, a nourishing compound known for its anti-aging properties, immune system enhancement, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular benefits, and promotion of intellectual development, is over three times more abundant than in control breeds. No drug residues have been detected.

　　In recent years, San'gao Gushi Chicken Company has led local farmers in the Dabie Mountains to establish natural farming areas across vast mountain slopes, woodlands, wastelands, and grasslands for the ecological free-range farming of Gushi Chickens. These chickens freely forage for insects, grass, wild fruits, and seeds, supplemented with appropriate amounts of whole grains. The resulting "Gushi Chicken" and "Gushi Chicken Eggs" have gained national popularity due to their premium quality, delicious taste, rich nutrition, and health benefits. They have been certified as China's "Green Food," received the "Geographical Indication" certification, and obtained the registered trademark certification for "Gushi Chicken." Eggs are collected immediately after laying to prevent contamination and breakage. In summer, measures are taken to protect the eggs from mosquito bites, and they are delivered to collection points within two days. During spring and autumn, delivery should occur within five days, and in winter, within seven days, to ensure freshness. Currently, raising Gushi Chickens and selling Gushi Chicken Eggs have become key pathways to lifting farmers out of poverty and achieving prosperity. This has promoted the adjustment of rural industrial structures, accelerated the pace of building a new socialist countryside, and significantly boosted the economic development of the county.
