VNV Insight

Layer farmers across Pakistan and other Asian countries face several production challenges linked to climate, nutrition, body weight, flock uniformity, and lighting programs. Technical webinars like this can provide practical guidance to farmers, veterinarians, nutritionists, and poultry consultants working to improve egg size and flock performance.

Webinar Overview

The first session of the Layer Performance Program, titled “Egg Size Factors in Asian Production”, will be held as a live technical webinar on May 13, 2026. The session is being organized under the aviNews and H&N International platform and is aimed at layer production professionals working under Asian production conditions.

The webinar will focus on how egg size is influenced by early body development, lighting programs, nutrition, amino acid intake, and heat stress management. These factors are especially important in Asian markets, where climate pressure, feed cost, production consistency, and egg quality directly affect farm profitability.

A key point of discussion will be the importance of body weight at 5 to 6 weeks of age and its impact on future egg size. The session will also highlight why light stimulation should be managed according to body weight rather than age alone.

Relevance for Pakistan’s Poultry Industry

In Pakistan, layer farming is affected by several practical challenges, including heat stress, high feed cost, uneven flock development, disease pressure, and market demand for specific egg sizes. In this context, egg size is not only a quality parameter but also an important factor linked to farm profitability and consumer preference.

Better control of body weight, nutrition, lighting programs, and heat stress can help layer farms improve production consistency, egg size, and overall economic performance. International technical programs focused on Asian production conditions can therefore be highly useful for Pakistani poultry professionals.
