Egg shortage in Kerala: Best Time for Profitable Poultry Business

The most profitable business opportunity in Kerala is the poultry business. The poultry industry faces a huge shortage due to high domestic and international demand every year. The domestic production of eggs accounts for just 260 crores out of a yearly egg requirement of 565 crores.

There is huge opportunity in trying to bridge that gap of close to 300 crores by investing in healthy, vaccinated chicks for a poultry farm.

The best way to start is to learn about the various breeds of chicken and their egg laying capacity. There are some chicken (available at AQAI.in) that can lay up to 300 eggs. Good breeds of chicks that are resistant to diseases and are healthy can even weigh over 2kgs after it produces eggs. This can serve as an additional source of income.

To close the gap between domestic egg consumption and exports the government has been trying to provide cages and chicks to farmers. However, the quality of the chicken and efficiency is yet to be determined.

Raising a wide range of poultry that are symbiotic like turkeys, ducks, geese and chickens for their meat and eggs contributes to one of the world’s fastest-growing industries today. Close to 50 billion chickens are raised for consumption, both meat and eggs. The growth and economics of the poultry farms control the breed types and the ability to manage the production. A variety of high-yield layers and broilers can be employed and hatcheries are known to produce high-quality layers and broiler chicks.

Procuring newborn chicks is extremely pivotal in the poultry industry. The chicks that are just a day old are often sulky and unprotected. Paying attention and taking care of the eggs in the first couple of weeks, approximately 40 to 60 days after they hatch is an essential process often referred to as brooding.

Thus making the poultry business a highly sought after business in the southern parts of the country. The close to 300-crore egg shortage every year makes way for a highly successful business opportunity. This proves to be a great venture that finds its origin in an increase in demand for eggs caused mainly due to the shortage in production.
