weighed roughly 250 grams, while improving yield and meat quality to deliver excellent taste and meat texture.
“It’s a fine balance of genetic and nutritional science and we think that the market acceptance by chefs and discerning consumers justifies our work on genetic improvement,” Tugrul says.
The health delivering aspects of quail meat and eggs, and the environmentally friendly rearing practices, suit the mood of the times.
Also, there is a move amongst consumers to eat well rather than just eating more protein products. Game Farm recommends that two of its quail make an ideal serve for a main meal. For the spatchcock, that is available in a range of sizes, typically around 500 grams, the recommendation is a bird per person.
BIGGER BIRDS
More recently Game Farm has added corn fed “pastured” chicken to its product range.
Game Farm grows out its pasture raised corn fed broilers from spatchcock age at farm in Camden Valley, New South Wales. The farm, run by Luke Micallef, uses a pastured range housing system.
And just like the ducks and quail on the Winder’s farm, trusty Maremma dogs are the guardians of the corn-fed broiler flocks.
The corn-fed chicken range includes whole birds in a variety of sizes and cuts.
Quail are excellent little aviators, so free range isn’t an option.
MEAT, FISH & POULTRY
Game Farm Sales and Marketing manager Daniel Jalalaty knows that his family’s product range can’t compete with the number of conventional broiler chickens from the big integrators.
On a dollar for weight basis conventional chicken meat is the clear leader yet Game Farm quail, spatchcock and corn-fed chicken are not dramatically more expensive and deliver health and taste benefits.
For Jalalaty, he knows that consumers’ food tastes have become more refined and Game Farm’s products not only appeal to chefs, they offer the home cook a point of difference in the meals they make.
While chicken continues to ‘rule the roost’ in terms of volume sales, Game Farm’s product range offers a new level of options to our nations increasingly sophisticated foodsector. ✷
