Detailed Technical Analysis & Market Intelligence
High summer temperatures can impact poultry physiology. Heat stress often reduces feed consumption, making it more challenging to maintain the standard 59g–60g egg weight. This can lead to a higher proportion of medium or small eggs, affecting wholesale prices in Lahore. To manage these seasonal shifts, farmers check the Poultry Rates Page (www.poultrybaba.com/rates) on www.poultrybaba.com or the Poultry Baba Mobile App to track real-time ground prices. They can also use Poultry Market Intelligence to monitor demand trends and view 30-minute AI Insights.
