Traditionally, Bihar state has been a consumer for non-agriculture produce, eggs, and fish in particular. In light of the state’s image as economically backward with an 88% population from a rural background, the growth of the layer market is 6- 7% per annum with a whopping 65% growth rate in egg production. Breaking down for more insights, the factors that resulted in this phenomenal growth is increased awareness & lower production cost.
The current population of layer birds in Bihar is 50- 60 lakhs. The total requirement of feed is approx. 1,80,000 – 2,00,000 MT per annum. However, the layer farmers are facing certain constraints such as decreased egg production due to unavailability of quality feed, poor farm management, etc. While feed constitutes 75- 80% of the production cost, commercial feed producers play a vital role in producing the best quality feed at affordable rates.
