Breeder egg farming is a specialized segment of poultry production focused on producing fertile eggs for hatching chicks, which are then raised for meat (broilers) or egg-laying (layers). Unlike commercial egg farming, which produces table eggs, breeder farms supply fertilized eggs to hatcheries, playing a crucial role in the poultry supply chain
At Western Agro Impex LLP, quality is not just a promise—it's the foundation of everything we do. We maintain rigorous standards throughout our supply chain, from sourcing to delivery, ensuring that every product meets or exceeds international quality and safety requirements.

Launch of IPO
COMMERCIAL HATCHERY (Phase I – 2028)
Why Add Hatchery?
- Control chick quality (reduce mortality risks)
- 50% cost savings vs buying chicks externally
- New revenue from selling DOC (Day-Old Chicks)

Breeder Egg Farming
A Comprehensive Overview (Phase II -2028)
Types of Breeder Egg Farms
- Broiler Breeders – Produce eggs that hatch into broiler chickens (for meat).
- Layer Breeders – Produce eggs that hatch into layer hens (for egg production).
- Parent Stock (PS) & Grandparent Stock (GPS) Farms – High-genetic-quality birds that supply breeder eggs to multiplier farms.
Key Components of Breeder Egg Farming
Housing & Management
- Controlled Environment – Optimized temperature, humidity, ventilation.
- Lighting Programs – Artificial lighting stimulates egg-laying cycles.
- Spacing & Nesting – Proper nest boxes encourage hygienic egg-laying.
Nutrition & Feeding
- Breeder-Specific Feed – Enhances fertility, hatchability, and quality.
- Controlled Feeding – Prevents obesity and fertility decline.
Health & Biosecurity
- Vaccination Programs – Protection from major poultry diseases.
- Sanitation Protocols – Clean environments prevent egg contamination.
- Disease Monitoring – Regular testing (Salmonella, Mycoplasma).
Egg Collection & Handling
- Frequent Collection – Prevents cracks and contamination.
- Cleaning & Disinfection – Sanitizes eggs safely.
- Storage Conditions – Ideal temp: 15–18°C, humidity: 75–80%.
Fertility & Hatchability Management
- Male-to-Female Ratio – 1 rooster per 8–10 hens.
- Artificial Insemination (AI) – Used in high-genetic flocks.
- Egg Quality Checks – Candling detects infertile eggs.
Uses of Breeder Eggs
Hatcheries
Fertilized eggs are incubated to produce day-old chicks.
Poultry Meat Industry
Broiler breeder eggs supply chicks raised for meat production.
Commercial Layer Farms
Layer breeder eggs produce future egg-laying hens.
Genetic Improvement
Grandparent stock farms supply elite breeding lines.
Egg Liquid & Powder Processing
Liquid Egg Preparation
Similar to egg liquid processing, eggs are broken, filtered, and pasteurized.
Spray Drying
The liquid is sprayed into a hot chamber, evaporating moisture and leaving fine powder.
Packaging
The powder is packed in moisture-proof bags or containers.
Types of Egg Powder
Contains both yolk and white.
Whole Egg Powder
Rich in fats and used in mayonnaise and sauces.
Egg Yolk Powder
High-protein, used in protein supplements and baked goods.
Egg White Powder
Applications
Used in instant noodles
Bakery products
Military rations
Exported globally
Long shelf life & transportable
Egg Liquid Processing
1. Egg Collection & Inspection
Fresh eggs are sourced from poultry farms and inspected for quality.
2. Breaking & Separation
Eggs are mechanically broken, and yolks and whites are separated (or kept whole).
3. Filtration & Mixing
The liquid is filtered to remove impurities and homogenized.
4. Pasteurization
The liquid is heated to eliminate pathogens (e.g., Salmonella) while retaining nutritional value.
5. Cooling & Packaging
The pasteurized liquid is rapidly cooled and packed in aseptic bags or containers.
Applications:
- Used in bakeries, confectioneries, and ready-to-eat foods.
- Preferred by hotels and restaurants for ease of use.
Egg Processing Industry in Punjab
Punjab has emerged as a hub for egg processing due to:
High Poultry Production – Leading supplier of eggs in North India.
Government Support – Subsidies and policies promoting food processing.
Export Potential – Egg powder is exported to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
The egg liquid and powder processing industry in Punjab is growing rapidly, driven by demand from food industries and export markets. With advancements in technology and government support, Punjab is poised to become a major player in processed egg products, contributing to both the economy and food security.
