Poutry can give you gold eggs.

German Poultry

In Germany the poultry industry currently consists of around 34 million laying hens, 60 million broilers and 11 million turkeys for meat production. Only crossbreds are of relevance for commercial egg and poultry meat production. Parent stock are kept and improved by only a few specialised breeding enterprises worldwide. The fact that hatching eggs and day old chicks can easily be sent by air freight made world wide distribution of poultry breeding stock possible.

Layers are delivered from Germany to all over the world since more than 50 years. The variability of the products depends on the changing requirements of the international market and the different production systems. In this context laying performance, good shell stability as well as excellent health is of great importance. Meanwhile laying hens “made in Germany” are established worldwide.

In poultry meat production partners of breeding enterprises for broilers and turkeys operating worldwide are located in Germany. On several farms parent flocks are kept for reproduction. That is why the export of hatching eggs and day old chicks plays a very important role - for meanwhile more than 50 years.



I think from german business you can be impressed and think about developing this
business.

Efforts by Governmemt Of Pakistan to attract investment in livestock.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES to attract investment in livestock :

Pakistan Government has realized that livestock sector offers tremendous potential for growth and has taken a large number of initiatives in this direction:

•  Updating legal framework to make it more investment friendly

•  Ensuring Credit availability

•  Private sector-led companies for promotion and facilitation of livestock i.e. Livestock and Dairy Development Board and Pakistan Dairy Development Company.

•  Approval of Livestock development policy

•  Increasing public-sector investment to facilitate and promote the sector development

•  Duty free import of all machinery.

•  Approval of package for corporate agriculture farming including livestock

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Keeping in view the above, the current environment in Pakistan is investment friendly for the livestock sector. Important areas of investment in livestock are:

•  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.

•  Establishment of milk collection and chilling centres and dairy processing: Pakistan is the 5 th largest producer of milk in the world. However only 3.0 % is being processed. The major obstacle in this regard is collection of good quality milk. Establishment of milk collection centres in the milk pockets with chillers offer a good investment as the quality and quantity of milk procured will be improved. Dairy industry in Pakistan is mainly dependent on production of UHT milk. While market for UHT milk is expected to expand, there is need to diversify the products. Diversified dairy products may include pasteurized milk, flavoured milk, milk with various fat levels, condensed milk, milk powder and various flavoured and fat percentage yougurts.

•  Vaccine production especially for Foot and Mouth disease and veterinary pharmaceuticals: Foot and Mouth disease is the most prevalent disease in livestock of Pakistan and no locally manufactured vaccine is available. Imported vaccine is too costly for most of the farmers to use. Thus there is acute demand and need for FMD vaccine which is of good quality and of reasonable price. Similarly there is growing market for quality veterinary pharmaceuticals.

•  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 processing: Demand 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 slaughter houses and model butcheries with grading system and commercial cuts will add value. Moreover, there is tremendous scope and need to establish slaughter house by-product plants for further profitability.

•  Integrated poultry production and processing: Poultry industry has made significant progress for the last 20-25 years with annual growth rate of 10 to 15 %. However, the growth of the industry has resulted in disjointed units within the industry. The future growth of poultry industry will depend upon vertical integration of different components including environmentally controlled houses for broilers and layers and processing and value addition like ready to cook products.
