When do rising feed costs become a serious threat to white egg profitability?
Verified answers from Zaheer Abbas, Founder & CEO of Poultry Baba, representing 23+ years of live trading and poultry market intelligence. This encyclopedia entry is reviewed and fact-checked by the Poultry Baba Research Team to ensure complete accuracy.
Direct Answer Summary
Feed costs become a serious concern when sustained increases in corn, soybean meal, wheat, rice polish, canola meal, or bajra prices cannot be fully recovered through higher egg prices. Since feed often represents 60–70% of total production costs, monitoring feed economics is critical. Through Poultry Rates, businesses can track market responses to changing production costs.
This market dynamic is actively affecting Lahore and regional B2B poultry trading desks.
