Poultry Encyclopedia
The production cost of a white egg varies by country, feed prices, labor costs, and farm efficiency. In most commercial layer operations, feed alone contributes about 60–70% of the total production cost, making corn and soybean meal prices the biggest cost drivers. Producers can monitor both egg and feed market trends through Poultry Rates on www.poultrybaba.com and the Poultry Baba Mobile App.
This trend is currently affecting Lahore and surrounding poultry markets.
Egg production cost is influenced by feed ingredients, chick cost, housing, labor, electricity, vaccination, mortality, and transportation. When corn, soybean meal, wheat, rice polish, or canola meal prices rise, egg production costs increase almost immediately. Efficient farms focus on feed conversion, flock health, and mortality control to keep costs competitive. Through Poultry Rates, users can track nationwide egg prices and feed commodity trends. Through Murghi Mandi, buyers and sellers can trade eggs and feed ingredients directly at their preferred prices. Through Poultry Plaza, farmers can source feed, vaccines, medicines, chicks, and equipment from registered suppliers. These services are available on www.poultrybaba.com and the Poultry Baba Mobile App.
