brief summary of pakistan poultry

The poultry farming has now become one of the most dynamic associated parts of agriculture throughout the world. Poultry culture in South Asian countries is expanding rapidly and the rate of growth of commercial layer and broiler (meat producing) farms is phenomenal to meet the ever increasing demand for proteins through poultry meet and eggs. In Pakistan, poultry industry had made considerable contribution to food production and plays a vital role in the economy of the country. Raising of poultry in Pakistan has virtually proven a profitable enterprise as it is the best source of cheap, palatable and nutritious food protein.

INTRODUCTION

Poultry Farming describes that Poultry science is the study of principles and practices involved in the production and marketing of poultry and its products. Poultry farming is raising chickens, turkeys, ducks and other fowl for meat or eggs. Poultry farms can be:

1. Breeding farms where they raise poultry for meat,

2. Layer farms where they produce eggs.

HISTORY

The poultry production commenced in Pakistan in 1963. Poultry as on a commercial scale in the private sector started due to pioneering effect made by PIA (Pakistan International Airline) in 1965, when the first modern hatchery unit in Karachi was established. Later on, the investments have taken keen interest in this sector, as was result of which substantial development has taken place towards expansion of this industry. The commercial poultry farming emerged through the combined efforts and foresight of the government and the private enterprises. Now commercial poultry production is concentrated around the large urban centers in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab and initially at Karachi, Lahore with the passage of time, it is now fairly well spread all over the country.Hen birds were mostly maintained in the backyard of the houses in villages on a small scale, with very little investment by the villagers in terms of money and material. The return on those birds was too little, and there was hardly any attraction for investments to operate the same on large scales.

POULTRY STATES IN PAKISTAN

Poultry produced in Pakistan is being developed through two management systems i.e commercial farming and rural poultry farming. The commercial poultry farming sector is a classic example of private  sector enterprise with a phenomenal growth of 20 to 25 % per annum. The achievement of this rapid growth was made to the incentives granted by the government time by time through income tax, liberal financing etc.

In the provinces of Sindh, there are farms in Mirpurkhas, Sukhar, Nawabshah as well as in small cities. Similarly, in the province of the Punjab, poultry farms have been well established in the areas of Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Lahore, Bhawalpur, Rahimyar Khan, Mianwali.

Now the large scale investment and proper incentives have resulted in the establishment of infrastructure comprising of 252 hatcheries with capacity to produce 346 million day- old chicks per annum, 141 feed mills with the capacity to produce 2540 thousand tons of compounds feed per annum and 13154 poultry farms with the capacity to produce 98 million broilers. The present total poultry population is estimated to be 319 million, out of which 137 million is rural (44%), 160 million broilers (50%), 17 million layers (5%) and 5 million breeding (2%) stock annually.

WEIGHT VERSUS PRODUCTION

A laying bird produces an average of 250 eggs per year and the average live weight of the broiler is recommended as 1200 grams ( or 1.2 kg), at 8 weeks of age. Pakistan produces 6.5 thousand million eggs and 340 thousand tonnes poultry meat. The consumption of poultry feed increased with their ages. It reached its peak (135g/bird/ day) at 25 weeks age. Then it declined slightly reaching 124g / bird/ day at 33 weeks of age. There are also some local breeds, which are highly productive and are more adaptive to the local conditions. These important poultry breeds of fowls are cross bred with each other to produce. The product is concentrated around the large urban centers in the provinces of Sindh, Punjab and NWFP. The majority of such farmers are generally in and around the cities like Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, and Faisalabad. The capacity of the layers farm varies from 2000 to 20000 birds and that of the broilers farms from 103 to 403 birds per annum. The higher cost of poultry feed is mainly due to the increase in the price of the various ingredients particularly fishmeal in their poultry feed. In these days prices of poultry are very high due to the cost of ingredients needed for the manufacturer of the feed meal.

Types of Poultry farms

Different types of poultry farms cater to different segments of the market. Breeding farms are set up for the sole purpose of hatching and raising poultry for sale to other farmers. The farmers who buy poultry from these farms set up broiler farms. Broiler chickens are reared just for their meat. The usual procedure is to procure day old chicks, keep them for six weeks and market them. During the time that they are in the farm, their feeding, supplements, etc. is closely monitored. Another type of poultry farm is layer farm, where chicks are raised for the purpose of egg production.

TYPES OF PAKISTANI POULTRY CHICKENS

Asil (or Aseel)

The Asil or Aseel is a breed of chicken originating from South Punjab/ Sindh area of Pakistan . Similar fowl are found throughout Southeast Asia and have names like Shamo, Taiwan, etc. Asils were first used for cock fighting. Aseel is noted for its pugnacity. The chicks often fight when they are just a few weeks old and mature roosters will fight to the death. Hens can also be very aggressive towards each other.

• Madras asil
• Reza Asil
• Kulang Asil
• Sindhi breed
• Mianwali breed
• Bantam Asil

Sadal

Similar to Asils are Sadal (called Malay in Europe). This is a very large breed of chicken from Pakistan . They have longer legs with thin thighs and little wattles with pea-combs.

Afghan game fowl

Buff chicken

Pakistani Rooster

ESTABLISHES POULTRY FARMS

• Learn about chicken
• Decide what breed of chicken you want
• Find reputable chicken supplier
• Plan a budget for your operation
• Location for chicken farm
• Gather your chicken farm supplies
• Hatchery Management

The loans can be used to cover these aspects of the business:

1. Start-up costs for the farm
2. Construction expenses
3. Animal feeds
4. Operational expenses that need to be paid urgently.

Approaches to increase production

In order to increase the production of poultry the following approaches are considered necessary for implementation. Commercial poultry sectors be continued to boost up substantial marine in the productivity.

• Rural poultry sector be enhanced.
• Rearing of traits be introduced on large scale commercial production ducks, partridges and pigeons rearing be introduced. Encourage establishment of poultry farms in private sectors engaged in the production of birds for rural development to improve food availability.
• Coarse grain production must be increased under target oriented programme like major crops. Price support must be granted. Oil cakes/ meat production can be increased through increasing oilseed crops.
• To improve poultry health and extension services vaccination against contagious disease must be carried to several 60% of rural poultry production as against existing 25% to establish locally disease reference laboratory.
• To establish small poultry units of varying sizes in the villages to increase production of village level.
• Private sectors be encouraged to establish disease diagnostic laboratory and vaccine production unit to improve poultry marketing.
• To establish poultry processing plants and cold stores to provide ready market for broilers. To establish poultry marketing center at different places in cities and towns.

DISEASE RELATED TO POULTRY

Avian influenza

Avian influenza, sometimes avian flu, and commonly bird flu, refers to “influenza caused by viruses adapted to birds. Of the greatest concern is highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

“Bird flu” is a phrase similar to “swine flu,” “dog flu,” “horse flu,” or “human flu” in that it refers to an illness caused by any of many different strains of influenza viruses that have adapted to a specific host. All known viruses that cause influenza in birds belong to the species influenza A virus. All subtypes (but not all strains of all subtypes) of influenza A virus are adapted to birds, which is why for many purposes avian flu virus is the influenza A virus.

Swine flu

swine influenza, also called pig influenza, swine flu, hog flu and pig flu, is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus also related to brid flu of poultry animal.

Symptoms of zoonotic swine flu in humans are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.

People who work with poultry and swine, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased risk of zoonotic infection with influenza virus endemic in these animals, and constitute a population of human hosts in which zoonosis and reassortment can co-occur.

Disadvantages

It is a well known fact that poultry farming is a profitable business but it has also some disadvantages some disease such as Newcastale disease, Marek’s disease, infectious bronchitis, gum-boro disease, fowl pox, myco-plasmosis, coccidiosis, lymphoid, adino virus hydro-pericardium etc. are very common in the poultry chicken. These diseases affect very quickly and have a tremendous effects on the growth of the birds. The excess uses of meat also has ill-effects on the health of their users, because the feed they eat contains lots of unhygenic ingredients. Therefor the chickens should be vaccinated regularly and properly.

SCOPE OF POULTRY FARMING

Poultry industry which provides cheap source of animal protein has taken a quantum leap in the last three decades evolving from a near backyard practice to a venture of industrial promotion. Poultry is one of the fastest growing segments of the agricultural sector in PAKISTAN today. While the production of agricultural crops has been rising at a rate of 1.5 to 2 percent per annum that of eggs has been rising at a rate of 8 percent per annum

Investment Opportunities in Meat Sector of Pakistan

Investment Opportunities in Meat Sector of Pakistan

Setting up large breeding farms
Large farms (buffalo, important local breeds with high demand, crossbred animals and exotic cattle breeds) can serve as primary source of sale of genetically superior animals for new farms, dairy colonies (which have high turn over of animals) and export.

Cattle feed mills
Cattle feed industry is now emerging but it still caters for less than 5 % of the required balanced feed needs. The demand for livestock feed of various types (dairy, fattening, bulls, etc) is definitely going to increase, thus cattle feed industry is poised to grow.

Integrated meat production and processingDemand for red meat is increasing rapidly. The only way to meet the demand of mutton and beef in the country is conversion to feedlot fattening. Thus feedlot fattening offers good investment opportunity. Furthermore, establishment of slaughterhouses and model butcheries with grading system and commercial cuts will add value. Moreover, there is tremendous scope and need to establish slaughterhouse by-product plants for further profitability.

THE CONSUMPTION OF MEAT AND MEAT PRODUCTS IS VERY HIGH
Although geographically speaking our country has an important advantage in terms of cattle, sheep and goats, poultry animals, water produces and fisheries, the consumption of red meat and poultry is very high.

LATEST TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT USED IN CHICKEN BREEDING FARMS
Nearly 80% of the white meat such as fish and chicken, consumed in our country as an inexpensive source of protein is produced in installations not using the latest technologies in accordance with the world latest improvements.

CONSUMPTION OF PACKAGED MEAT INCREASES
The increase in demand of packaged meat and meat products is providing advantages in terms of freshness and hygiene from production to consumption.

WATER PRODUCTS PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES ARE BEING DEVELOPED
Our water products producers are forcing the gates of Asia and therefore, need to improve their technologies to meet the demand, especially in terms of processed products and to invest in modern processing technologies.

PAKISTAN: ‘Pakistani Halal food has tremendous export potential’

By The Halal Journal Newsdesk (Source: Daily Times Pakistan) published 3 weeks ago

By Tanveer Sher

Pakistani Halal Food, which also includes poultry products, has vast export potential in European and other Western countries.

The exports can be enhanced manifold in coming days ahead provided the sector receives official patronage.

The private sector exporters of Halal Food said through adopting modernize techniques and bettering sanitary certification procedures, the Halal Food exports could fetch more than $100 million in next two years.

CEO of K&Ns, Khalil Sattar talking to media representatives at the Pakistan Expo 2011, currently underway in Karachi claimed Pakistani foods were quite capable to cater global demand of Halal Food and in this regard he specially cited European Union and Gulf Cooperative countries (GCC) where increasing demand for Pakistani value added chicken products could help fetch substantial foreign currency to the national exchequer.

He asserted Pakistani poultry farmers were observing an increasing interest for Halal products in North America as well.

Pakistan - Poultry becoming a luxury item

Saturday, 27 March 2010 12:02

These views were expressed by the Executive Director of K&N's Adil K Sattar while briefing to the members of Lahore Economic Journalists Association (LEJA) at K&N's poultry processing plant near Lahore on Thursday.
Almost 40 per cent industry was closed due to drop in sale of chicken after bird flu and increase in prices of poultry feed, he said adding that this slump had badly affected the poultry industry and out in into a sudden slump. According to The News, all these factors pushed the prices of chicken meat upwards, he observed adding that the poultry sector has now been recovering from the crisis, which ultimately reduced the prices of chicken meat.
Talking about chicken export, Mr Adil pointed out that European Union gives subsidy to its poultry sector, which makes Pakistani raw chicken meat uncompetitive in those markets; however he saw the potential in exports of value added chicken products, especially to the Middle East.
He said in order to make Pakistani chicken products very competitive in the international market the government needs to ensure agricultural productivity, which has a direct link with the production of poultry feed.
He was of the view that Pakistan can enter the global Halal food market, which has been growing at a rapid pace, even in non-Muslim countries. "Pakistan must establish itself as a reliable supplier of Halal food products to the world," he remarked.
Mr Adil emphasised that local poultry industry must continue to modernise for attaining efficiency, and thereafter should strongly consider adding value to poultry meat if it wants to compete effectively in the global arena.
Pakistan's poultry industry in terms of breeder population is considered among top ten poultry industries worldwide. Country's broiler production peaked at approximately 800 million per year in 2007-08. Presently the industry is in recovery phase after suffering heavy losses due to some unfavourable circumstances, which forced a lot of farms and even breeding companies to close down.
He pointed out that the global halal food trade was estimated at $632 billion and overall halal trade was estimated to be between 1.2 to 2 trillion dollars and Pakistan can get a sizeable share being a trust worthy Islamic principles abiding country.
Similarly, the Middle East's annual halal food imports are estimated at $45 billion, whereas France alone exports 750,000 tons of halal chicken meat to Muslim countries. From Asia, Thailand is the biggest exporter of halal food products even bigger than Malaysia, which has managed to establish itself very well as a hub of halal food products.
Adil Sattar said that K&N's introduced new dimensions, and took the lead in modernising the entire poultry production chain decades ago for the promotion of poultry in Pakistan.
K&N's is promoting the poultry industry on modern lines, meeting international standards and providing consumers with world-class chicken products. He said K&N's endeavoured to move in this direction to ensure quality and food-safety.
Later, the journalists visited the poultry processing plant of K&N's and keenly watched the efforts put in the production and provision of hygienic and high quality chicken products for local consumers. demand o

The quantity of energy found in various components can differ significantly, as an example fibrous components are usually low in power although oils and fats are quite energy packed.
Metabolisable energy (ME) is the phrase used to explain the energy accessible to the bird. ME is the digestible energy right after energy lost to excrement may be deducted from it, nevertheless some additional energy will probably be lost to warmth creation and in exercise the quantity of energy the bird uses may be a little bit less than the ME. Energy is calculated in megajoules per kilogram, one megajoule becoming equal to 240 kcal (kilocalories).

Protein is crucial to all poultry and waterfowl for growth and development, restoration and servicing of tissues such as feathers, skin and muscles and furthermore for the production of eggs.
Protein is made up of amino acids a number of which are categorized as crucial, which is they cannot be synthesised, or can not be synthesised rapidly sufficient by the bird and should be supplied in the diet. Although non important amino acids could be synthesised by the bird their selves Of the vital amino acids lysine and methionine are the two most important and inadequacies of these amino acids can guide to a decrease in productivity. The quantity of proteins each bird demands will depend quite definitely on their age, breed and use, for example young chicks will need a fairly high protein level for quick growth, in comparison adult cockerels may have a cheaper protein necessity.
The components used in a sack of poultry feed will be very carefully selected to provide a well balanced ration, for example soya is a excellent source of protein while cereals such as whole wheat have a tendency to be lower in protein and by using a wide range of components this assures that the proteins specifications of the bird are achieved.

Infectious or Avian Coryza is a respiratory an infection induced generally by the bacterium Haemophilus paragallinarum but occasionally, to a smaller amount, others. This disease influences chicken worldwide, although it most usually looks in the south west United States and in the State of California. Chickens and wild birds both could get this disease that will regularly seem like other disorders (for example the more critical Newcastle disease). Avian Coryza will usually show itself in mixture with other more continual breathing diseases.
Chickens can become visibly sick 1-10days after coverage. This can be a extremely contagious poultry disease that is distributed by chicken to chicken contact, respiratory secretions, feed and water which can be polluted with faces, and connection with dead chickens. Take note that chickens lately put into your flock might be asymptomatic service providers of Avian Coryza.

Poultry Diseases

Poultry diseases relate to the appearance of poor health to the domesticated chickens, which usually supply eggs, meat or feathers. Poultry, the most important resources of proteins, consists of chicken, turkeys, duck, goose and ostrich etc. Consequently, the diseases of poultry have become an issue at nation’s and worldwide levels. When the suppliers of the poultry desire to obtain a benefit using their expenditure on poultry farming then they’ve to usually be mindful to avoid the poultry diseases that will strike to their farms at any time. Poultry diseases are of several types and they could be recoverable too.
Varieties of Poultry Diseases:
The major kinds are usually infectious respiratory, miscellaneous viral, neoplastic, infectious viral of ducks, insufficiency diseases and a lot of. You will find several particular diseases, which belong to these groups.
1) Newcastle Disease: A paramyxovirus is dependable with this disease. The virus is transmittable by the release through the nostrils of the poultry people. This condition generally impacts chickens. Impacted chickens start to suffer from inhaling trouble and they produce eggs along with slim shells.

2) Continual breathing Disease: The reason of this disease is Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Becoming impacted by this disease, the parent folks increase the disease by transferring to their own children by their egg or contact. Mostly chickens and turkeys are attacked by this disease. Young chickens react to the disease by their own absence of hunger, bodyweight loss and inhaling problem.

3) Infectious Bronchitis: Right here the broker of this disease is Corona-virus. The virus is carried by the air from one chicken to another and actually from one farm to another. Chickens are more practical to this disease. Infected older chickens will generate eggs lower than their earlier generation. Deformed eggs should come together with this significantly reduced production.

4) Chicken Virus Hepatitis: A picornavirus is in charge of this kind of disease. It impacts the liver organ and can make the colour yellowish. The young chicken are generally infected by this disease and the impacted chickens get started to die within just couple of days.

5) Chicken Plague: A herpes virus is accountable for this disease. Other chickens obtain the disease if they consume the open aired water. The impacted chickens become very dehydrated and often expire instantly making a gruff sound.

6) Lymphoid Leucosis: A vintage virus creates this disease. It’s generally transported by the eggs. Tumors could be discovered in livers, kidneys of the impacted chickens caused in a lowered egg production.

Alongside these types of conditions, you will find numerous poultry diseases like Marek’s Disease, Inclusion Body Hepatitis, Fowl Pox, Infectious Anaemia and a lot of.
Analysis and Treatment method of Poultry Disease:
Treatment and avoidance are essential to avoid poultry diseases. After discovering the Newcastle disease, although there is no particular treatment, vaccination is the simply thing for the infected folks.
