However, the poultry industry in Sri\r\nLanka only has a brief history as this began just a few decades ago.\r\nDuring the past 2 decades, the presence of native backyard\r\ntype poultry breeds have been declining with the availability of\r\npresent hybrid chicks in the rural areas due to the rapid growth of\r\nthe poultry industry. <\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nAbout 70 % of the contribution to the livestock sector in Sri\r\nLanka is made up of chicken meat and eggs. With the current\r\npurchasing levels of consumers, the industry is capable of producing a considerable amount to meet the local requirements for\r\nchicken meat and eggs. These are relatively cheap as compared\r\nto other animal products. Poultry products are now the most\r\nconsumed source for animal protein in the diet of the average Sri\r\nLankan as the industry today is in the hands of the private sector\r\nThe village chicken contributes to about 15 % of the total\r\negg production in the nation.. They are reared mainly for the\r\nproduction of eggs since they have low growth rates. The village chicken is reared both in the rural and suburban areas,\r\nhowever, they are frequently found in the rural villages of Sri\r\nLanka. The average flock size varies from 5-10 birds. At present,\r\nthe poultry industry is growing as a lucrative sector despite minor constraints. <br><br>\r\nThe industry is capable of meeting a considerable amount of\r\nlocal requirements for chicken meat and eggs. Being the cheapest\r\nsource of animal proteins, poultry has contributed largely to the\r\nsource of animal proteins so much so that the government has even\r\ndeclared chicken meat as an essential food commodity in 2006. <br><br>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>LOHAANN EXClUSIVE CUSTOMER NELFARMS STORY<\/h2><BR>\r\nThe origins of NelFarm (Noorani Estates Limited ) began in the\r\ncoconut estate in Walahapitiya Nattandiya where the company diversified into dealing with livestock due to the seamless demand\r\nof poultry products. Today, the core business is poultry which is\r\nfondly known as <strong>NELFARMS<\/strong>.<br><br>\r\n<strong>NELFARMS<\/strong> is an integrated poultry business with its own breeder\r\nfarms and hatcheries.
