Wangcang Native Chicken

　　Wangcang Native Chicken is a specialty of Wangcang County in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. Known for its delicious taste and rich nutrition, Wangcang Native Chicken has gained increasing popularity among consumers, leading to growing market demand and creating favorable opportunities for the development of the local chicken industry.

　　Situated in the mountainous area of northern Sichuan, Wangcang County is rich in forest resources, making it highly suitable for raising native chickens. Local farmers have long had the custom and experience of breeding native chickens. To fully leverage its resource advantages and further grow the native chicken industry, the county launched the “Ten Million Native Chickens” project, making the development of the native chicken industry a key measure to boost agricultural efficiency and increase farmers' income. Through preferential policies, technical guidance, and the establishment of specialized cooperatives, the county continues to support traditional scattered farming households while actively guiding them toward moderately scaled, standardized, and intensive farming models.

　　According to the animal husbandry department of Wangcang County, there are now over 800 large-scale and moderately scaled native chicken farms in the county. The plan is to promote the free-range forest farming model across all 18 townships, focusing on developing forest-raised native chickens and striving to produce pollution-free, green poultry products. It is expected that by 2015, the county will establish 220 standardized ecological native chicken farming zones, with an annual output of 12 million native chickens. The native chicken professional cooperatives will be fully standardized, and the system for ensuring animal health and product safety will also be further improved.
