featherless chickens

Avigdor Cahan, Israeli scientist, was given the task of genetically modifying poultry world. Their experiment reproduces chickens without feathers.

The power of genetics Rehovot Agronomy Institute in Tel Aviv, is the first to have a naked chicken farm. According to geneticist Cahan, thanks to their experiment, countries with warm climates could produce many more birds, then save on cooling and processing plants, where they remove the feathers of birds.

On the other hand there are those who oppose the experiment, they say for example that men could not mate because they can not flap their wings to maintain balance. Some argue that, without feathers, the chickens can get parasites and skin diseases develop. Cahan has defended his invention: "This is not a genetically modified chicken, it is a natural breed whose characteristics have been known for 50 years. I'm just transferring their growth."
