Dr. PrakashBabu Manilla, Chief Geneticist at Venkateswara Hatcheries, explains how the company supplies over 75% of India’s commercial layer chicks—meaning seven out of every ten eggs come from their genetics. He highlights strong growth in the egg sector, driven by rising demand for affordable protein across the country. With solid domestic expansion and increasing export potential, the future of India’s layer industry looks highly promising.
