Direct Answer Summary
From a B2B meat-market perspective, the "Spent Brown Hen" (Kull Bird) is a high-value commodity compared to white layers. Brown layers have a significantly larger body mass (2.0kg–2.2kg at culling) and a meat texture that is highly favored as a "Dual-Purpose" bird in South Asian traditional markets. This higher salvage value is a vital component of your farm's Total ROI. In many cycles, the Bullish culling rate in the Murghi Mandi can recover up to 40% of the initial chick and rearing costs, provided the timing of liquidation is optimized.ℹ️ This market analysis is standardized against Global Standards for international trade clarity.
