Mumbai: Srinivasa Farms, the industry leader in poultry breeding announces extension of its strategic partnership with Hy-Line International, the world leader in layer poultry genetics into Karnataka. Through this partnership Srinivasa Group will distribute Hy-Line commercial layers (W-80 Commercial layer bird) throughout Karnataka.  The Hy-Line W-80 is a robust white egg layer for all housing systems and environments. This bird delivers prolific egg numbers, excellent egg shell strength, and strong performance under challenging environments and low-density feed rations.

The W-80 is adaptable to alternative production systems and remains calm for easy management. For markets requiring a larger egg size, the W-80 Plus gives producers the same great traits with an egg weight profile two grams heavier.

Its persistency for long single-cycle lay means more eggs on five grams less feed. Producers gain more profitability with a feed savings of approximately two kilograms per bird per year versus competing brands

Srinivasa Farms entered into a strategic partnership with Hy-line International in June 2017 in South India and the association is proving itself very successful. This partnership is seeing breakthrough results and beating performance standards through excellent customer service and technical assistance down south. Srinivasa Farms & Hy-line International are now ready to extend this association into North India aiming for bigger success

The size of the poultry industry in India is around Rs. 100,000 Crores and is expected to grow at the rate of 8-10% over the next few years. The potential is enormous when one considers the fact that just 65 eggs are consumed per capita in India compared to a country like Japan where it is 330 eggs per capita.

This partnership has relevance much larger than just a business association – it has enormous potential of making use of the genetically superior Hy-Line layers to feed the rising population of India with an economical source of animal protein.

Srinivasa has earned a reputation of being one of the best poultry breeding companies in the country, adopting international standards of quality, hygiene and efficiency. And this partnership with Hy-Line will ensure that they are the leaders in this market on all fronts.
