Abstract：Statistics shows that the global consumption of broilers has seen an upward trend. With the development of
China’s poultry and egg industry, there has been a rapid increase in the number of spent laying hens. However, currently
spent laying hen prices are generally lower with lower levels of processing. Starting from the current situation of the spent
laying hen processing industry together with the meat quality and nutritional characteristics of spent laying hens, this paper
explores future trends in the development of this industry in China.
