Welcome to the Australian Chicken Meat Federation Website
As a leading source of protein, chicken plays an important part in the Australian diet. Consumption has increased from 6kg in 1965 to an astonishing 35kg per person in 2005. Our recent research shows that one out of three people eats chicken meat at least three times a week, with just about everybody eating it at least once a week.
If you cook or eat chicken, work in the chicken meat industry, or are someone who wants to know more about it, this site is for you. Here’s where you can find out about meat chickens - from how we breed them for meat, to handling and cooking chicken for your table – please explore this site and get behind the scenes of this fascinating and valuable industry.

Chicken is recognised by consumers as being lean and with only 0.3g of saturated fat per 100g, this status is well deserved. The Lean Chicken campaign "Fly Through Your Day", in the first instance aimed at GPs, dieticians and nutritionists, makes this point. Click here to have a look at the campaign.
