VH Breed Layer
Venkateshwara Research and Breeding Farm (VRB), located in Pune, was established in 1980 by Venkateshwara Hatcheries with the aim of breeding layer birds best suited to tropical conditions. This initiative sought to end the dependency on the perpetual import of Grand Parent layer flocks from abroad. VRB is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure to run a comprehensive layer breeder breeding program. Since 1981, the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, has recognized VRB as an in-house R&D center, and in 1996, VRB received the award for best R&D efforts from the Government of India. The pedigree birds in VRB's genetic selection program are tested in various agro-climatic conditions across the Indian subcontinent. With a breeding program tailored for regional needs, VRB adapts quickly to market demands and husbandry challenges. The layer genetic stock developed in India ensures better adaptation to local husbandry practices, resulting in higher profitability for poultry farmers.
