Early Days of Its Creation
Commercial Poultry was initially introduced in Pakistan by M/S Shaver’s of Canada with the help of PIA in 1962.The idea of Pakistan Poultry Association was floated by a few poultry farmers and efforts were made to create it in 1979. It is a matter of pleasure now that an upshot of their dream came out as a 2nd largest industry of Pakistan. It was just because of day and night untiring hard work of a few leaders, that poultry sector developed rapidly and its growth rate went 15 to 20% annually in our country. A just few personalities were the Pioneers; those were Mr. Salahuddin (Late), who organized a Pakistan Poultry Board. The first and last chairman of the Board was Executive Director (then) of PIA Shaver Major (Retd) Muhammad Anwar (Late). Mr. Salahuddin, Mr. Khalil Sattar, Mr.Yousaf Ehsan Khokhar, Mr. Muzahar, Dr. Abdul Ghafoor Chaudhary, Mr. Afsar Qadri (Late) and Sardar Abdul Hameed Nakai were the members of the board.
In 1979 Poultry board could not work properly and in its very initial days faced a lot of mis-understandings and criticism of the members, therefore poultry board was dissolved. After that, Mr. Salahuddin and Mr. Khalil Sattar put down the Foundation stone of Pakistan Poultry Association and they became founders of the PPA in 1980. Other Members were:-
| a. | Mr. Muhammad Afsar Qadri | (Sindh) |
| b. | Mr. Muzahar | (Sindh) |
| c. | Mr. Abdul Hameed Khan | (Sindh) |
| d. | Haji Fasih Uddin | (Sindh) |
| e. | Mr. Tahir | (Balochistan) |
| f. | Mr. Yousaf Ehsan Khokhar | (Punjab) |
| g. | Mr. Nasrullah | (Punjab) |
| h. | Sardar Abdul Hameed Nakai | (Punjab) |
| i. | Haleem Dil Khan | (Punjab) |
| j. | Rana Sajjad Haider | (Punjab) |
| k. | Dr. Abdul Ghafoor Chaudhar | (Punjab) |
| l. | Mian Mumtaz A Sheikh | (Punjab) |
| m. | Haji Muhammad Abdullah | (Punjab) |
| n. | Rana Nawaz | (Punjab) |
Status of Industry in 1980
The above members worked very hard, did their best in development of the poultry sector and streamlined the working of Pakistan Poultry Association properly. There were only two Feed Mills in the entire country at that time. One was Lever Brother’s feed Mill and other was the Pak Feed Industry. Afterwards Al-fateh Feeds at Faisalabad and Aftab Feeds in Sindh (Mehran Feeds) came into being. At that time Farmers were not interested in buying the feed made of mills, most of them used to purchase the ingredients (Raw Material) and after home mixing, it was preferred to consume. In Layer Breeding, breeder of ARBORACERS was with Commander Afzal and Breeder of SHAVER was with PIA Shaver.
First of all in Pakistan the credit of bringing the Broiler Breeder goes to Commander Afzal, who imported the broiler breeder of ARBORACERS After wards Syed Tariq Ali of Packages imported HI-BREED and introduced to the farmers.
Development of Poultry Industry
Layer farming work was mostly undertaken in the private sector. Saith Sarwar then, Secretary Live stock and Dairy Development Department, Government of Punjab, made the efforts to start broiler in Pakistan. Dr. Wahab Khan, Dr. Inaam and Dr. Muhammad Salim Qureshi (Late) contributed their services for existence and strengthening the Poultry Association. They got sanctioned subsidy, exemption of taxes on poultry from the government of Pakistan and extended their maximum cooperation to this sector. But the industry brazen out a lot of challenges/Adversaries, which were set against the broiler and Farmi eggs. Religious Teachers (Maulvies) of our country also opened a front against the farmi chicken and egg and declared it as Hiram to consume. Farmers had to discard this view point; hence they faced a lot of difficulties to introduce the broiler and eggs to the general public. Farmers took an initiative to undertake free distribution to homes of general public and especially residences of religious teachers (Maulvis). It proved to be Most supportive in changing the opinion of public therefore graph of adversity of broiler and eggs turned to downwards and criticism was condensed up to some extent.
Rates of Poultry Products
At that time in 8 weeks only 3 pounds weight could be obtained from the broiler. Early years were not suitable for the layer farming because MARIX VACCINE was not being provided and layer flocks had to suffer form the diseases. One day old chick of layer was sold @ Rs.2.00 and price of feed was Rs.26 to 30 per bag. Vaccination of ND and Foul pox to the Layer and only ND to broiler was carried out. One day old Chick was marketed @ Rs. 00.90 (14 ANNA), and rate of Egg BOX was Rs.60 to 120. Cull Bird was sold @ Rs.6.00 and broiler meat was sold @ Rs.6.00 per sair. Maximum work of marketing was carried out by the veterinarians. Therefore the poultry industry kept on growing speedily and getting strengthened day by day.

Problems Confronted Disease Control
In the expedition of Poultry Sector it confronted with most awful circumstances many a times. In 1988 a disease named Hydropericardium Syndrome spread all over the country and just ruined the poultry farms. We salute to the scientist of the poultry industry, because they invented vaccine themselves, against the Hydro syndrome and till today there is no danger of this disease.
Oppressive Taxes
Initially Sales Tax was imposed on poultry sector, which was exempted after an effective agitation and proving unity by the association. After that following taxes were also imposed on poultry business community, which were irrational and unreasonable. Poultry farmers were being pressed hard to pay the taxes by the Town/Tehsil Municipal Administrations. PPA achieved exemption and reduction of the following taxes as mentioned below:-
| a | Building Plans approval Fee is | Rs.5.00 per Sq Ft – Reduced to Rs. 1 per Sq Ft |
| b | No Objection Certificate Fee is | Rs.5.00 per Sq Ft – Exempted |
| c | License Fee is | Rs.20,000.00 per Farm – Exempted |
| d | Malba Fee is | Rs.3.00 per Sq Ft – Exempted |
| e | Development Charges are | Rs.5,000.00 per kanal – Exempted |
| Professional & Property Tax as per Schedule | ||
Marriage Ordinance of Food Ban
In 1992 Ordnance was passed and food was banned in the marriage functions. Resultantly demand of broiler suddenly reduced and market faced acute slump. Again members of the industry got united and came on roads to make the government realized that injustice is being done with the industry. In 2004 again food was banned in wedding functions. Leaders of the industry again trying their hard to get relief from the government by getting the ordnance amended and withdrawal of the food ban. It is a major hurdle in growth of the poultry industry, for which a letters to Mr. Sikandar Hayat Bosan, Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture & Live stock, has already been written requesting the minister, to allow survival of poultry industry and to allow National economy to grow.
During budget year 2006/2007 the problem was resolved and permission of one disch by the supreme court/cabinet was granted.
Outbreak of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu Rumor) 2004
Avian Influenza outbreak in commercial layers was first recorded from various towns of Karachi. A study was carried out by microbiologists and research completed on “Epidemiology of Avian Influenza H7 outbreak in Karachi” after completing the survey of the poultry farms, as per findings, Avian Influenza of low pathogenicity was noticed during the first nine months of the year 2003, from November, 2003 onward a highly pathogenic Avian Influenza (AI) virus attacked layer flocks. According to seasonal incidence in commercial layers, as many as 6 outbreaks occurred during February-March 2003, which is 14.63 percent of the total incidents. Five outbreaks were recorded during April-June 2003, which were 12.19 per cent. During July-September 2003, 3 outbreaks were registered, which is 7.30 percent, while 27 outbreaks recorded during October-December 2003 showing 65.85 percent of the total outbreaks. During December 2003, 26 different outbreaks were recorded from all over Karachi, with heavy mortality. Daily mortality averaged 4 to 10 percent almost in all cases. The youngest infected age group was 5 to 7 weeks but major losses occurred in older flocks of 40-60 weeks of age, while the oldest aged birds were 133 weeks (Molted Flock). According to the findings of the study (AI) virus may occur through some contaminated vaccine because of the fact that a certain type of ND vaccine is commonly and more frequently used in Layer Flocks. Such incidences have been reported previously in medical history on many occasions.
Avian Influenza is presently a world wide problem and has been reported from USA, Belgium, Holand, Maxico and Australia besides Pakistan involving various sero types of influenza virus in chicken. It is H5 type, which has been responsible for recent out breaks in Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Hong Kong and Japan, killing both chicken and human patients. Our present losses are due to H7 but we have also titers of H9. It was also noticed that the local press reported incidence of some “Avian Influenza” in children in Karachi but the type of virus had not been indicated. The Public Health Department failed to highlight the issue except a statement by the Pakistan Medical Association, which had created un necessary panic in public. Afterwards both the medical and veterinary concerned departments investigated the problem and it was revealed that H7 and H9 viruses are not harmful to the human health. Total loss at Karachi due to recent outbreak caused by H7 was 3.5 Millions.
Again on 26th February 2006 it was announced by the government of palostan that there is H5N! stain present in the country therefore indudtry sustained loss of about 20 Bilions and rrevised after 4-6 months.
Upgradation of PPA Punjab Zone
The office of the PPA (Punjab Zone) was upgraded by appointing an Army Officer (retired) Major Syed Javaid Hussain Bukhari, as Secretary Punjab Zone, who is looking after the office affairs efficiently since September 2002. All activities of the industry are being coordinated by this office having close liaison with the Central Office of PPA and government agencies. Pakistan Poultry Association (Punjab Zone) has proved his worth and its growth rate went up substantially. Now this office is working very smoothly and just like a secretariat office and enjoying very cordial relations with all government offices, related to livestock and poultry. This has definitely minimized the problems of the industry by making close coordination with the government office.
Pakistan Poultry Association always cooperated with the government of Pakistan and maintained very close contact. That’s why association received respect from all government quarters. Its activities are always appreciated by the government which is constantly made for welfare of the general public. Association is busy to provide poultry product to the masses on cheap and affordable rates.
Organization of Poultry Advisory Boards
Association faced many problems at all levels and there was a need to organize
Poultry board on province and federal level. Therefore Poultry association made efforts to establish the boards and ultimately succeeded in organizing the provincial poultry advisory board and federal poultry advisory board by the Government of Punjab and Government of Pakistan respectively. Meetings of the boards are regularly held and these boards are working for development of the poultry by solving the problems of the industry,
Re-Organization of Central/Zonal Executive Bodies

Conclusion
Poultry industry is playing an effective role in protecting the interests of poultry sector and seeking the resolution of the problems confronting the poultry industry. Pakistan Poultry Association was formally organized in 1979 and carries a strong platform for the poultry industry and it is worthwhile to know that poultry industry developed its own, without any significant help/assistance of government of Pakistan. Punjab being the biggest centre of poultry, the Zonal Executive Committee of PPA (Punjab Zone) not only took every possible measures to resolve problems being faced by the poultry sector of the Punjab but in close coordination with the Central Executive Committee of Pakistan Poultry Association, also invites the attention of the Federal Government to the plight of poultry sector of the country effectively. Poultry Industry of Pakistan is making a tremendous contribution in bridging the gap between the supply and demand of meat protein. With the continuous depletion of supply of red meat, poultry is the cheapest available meat protein for our masses and as such is an effective check upon the spiraling animal protein prices. Pakistan Poultry Industry is the 2nd largest industry of Pakistan having 75 Billions investments. It is worth mentioning here that that despite all the factors the growth rate of this industry was 20 to 30 % in 1970s and 10 to 15% after 1980s. Still it is tremendously growing and has proved to be the major stumbling block in price increase of red meat. Otherwise rate of red meat would have gone up and may be at the rate of Rs.600 per KG.
