Our Industry Challenges
Poultry farming is a high-reward but complex business. From disease outbreaks to feed efficiency, every farm faces unique challenges. At Shreepali Livestock, we help farmers overcome these hurdles with scientific solutions, practical guidance, and innovative products.
Disease Management
Challenge: Poultry is highly susceptible to bacterial, viral, and fungal infections such as Newcastle disease, Avian Influenza, Fowl Pox, and Salmonella. Even minor outbreaks can lead to severe mortality and economic losses.
Impact: Reduced growth rate, poor egg production, high veterinary costs, and sometimes total flock loss.
Our Approach:
Preventive vaccination programs tailored to the farm type and local disease trends.
Early detection through routine health checks.
Antibiotic alternatives like probiotics and herbal immunity boosters.
​
Antibiotic Resistance
Challenge: Overuse or misuse of antibiotics in poultry leads to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), making infections harder to treat and affecting food safety.
Impact: Threat to human health, reduced efficacy of drugs, and regulatory non-compliance.
Our Approach:
Promote responsible medication and reduced antibiotic dependence.
Use gut-health supplements to prevent infections naturally.
Provide farmer training on biosecurity and proper dosing.
​
3. Feed Quality & Cost
Challenge: Feed constitutes 60–70% of total production cost. Poor-quality feed or imbalanced nutrition results in low growth, uneven flock size, and higher mortality.
Impact: Reduced profit margins, poor feed conversion ratio (FCR), and slower flock growth.
Our Approach:
Supply high-quality, balanced feed and supplements.
Nutritional consulting to optimize feed conversion.
Cost-effective feed management strategies to reduce wastage.
4. Egg & Meat Quality
Challenge: Maintaining uniform egg size, shell strength, yolk color, and meat quality is crucial for market acceptance. Nutritional deficiencies and poor farm management can compromise quality.
Impact: Lower market value, complaints, and reduced consumer trust.
Our Approach:
Balanced mineral and vitamin supplementation.
Monitoring of growth patterns and egg production cycles.
Farm-level management guidance for proper lighting, housing, and ventilation.
​
5. Biosecurity
Challenge: Pathogens can spread through people, equipment, feed, water, and wild animals. Lack of strict biosecurity practices increases disease risk.
Impact: Frequent disease outbreaks, loss of livestock, and higher treatment costs.
Our Approach:
Train farmers on farm zoning, visitor control, and sanitation.
Recommend disinfection routines for equipment and housing.
Suggest secure feed and water handling procedures.
-
6. Climate & Environmental Stress
Challenge: Temperature fluctuations, humidity, and poor ventilation can stress birds, leading to lower immunity and reduced production.
Impact: Heat stress, reduced egg-laying, slower weight gain, and higher mortality.
Our Approach:
Provide stress-relief supplements and electrolytes.
Suggest housing designs with proper ventilation and cooling.
Seasonal management plans to adapt to climate changes.
​
7. Flock Mortality
Challenge: High mortality rates reduce profits, disrupt farm planning, and can demotivate farmers. Causes include disease, poor nutrition, and environmental stress.
Impact: Significant financial loss, lower overall productivity.
Our Approach:
Comprehensive vaccination and health management programs.
Nutritional support to improve immunity.
Early-warning systems for disease outbreaks and corrective measures.
8. Productivity Optimization
Challenge: Achieving consistent growth, egg-laying, and feed conversion is difficult due to varying management practices and environmental factors.
Impact: Uneven production, reduced efficiency, and higher operational costs.
Our Approach:
Monitor performance with flock health and growth tracking.
Customized feed plans and supplementation.
Farmer training on proper housing, lighting, and record-keeping.
9. Regulatory Compliance
Challenge: Farmers must comply with government rules on animal health, feed safety, and antibiotic use. Non-compliance can result in penalties or market restrictions.
Impact: Legal issues, limited market access, and potential loss of licenses.
Our Approach:
Guide farmers on registration, licensing, and reporting.
Provide documentation templates for feed and health compliance.
Regular updates on government guidelines and amendments.
10. Market & Supply Chain Challenges
Challenge: Price fluctuations for poultry products, feed shortages, and transportation issues can affect profitability.
Impact: Reduced income, higher costs, and difficulty in planning production cycles.
Our Approach:
Offer guidance on cost-effective sourcing and inventory management.
Suggest local market connections and supply chain strategies.
Advise on product diversification for income stability.
