Pakistani scientists have developed a new breed of chicken capable of putting more than 200 eggs annually, marking a great advance for rural corral bird agriculture.
The new breed, called Uni-Gold, was developed by researchers from the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF). It is designed to prosper in the rural environments of Pakistan and support extreme temperatures, particularly the intense heat.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of UNI-Gold is its ability to produce three times more eggs than a traditional desi Hen, despite requiring significantly less food. This makes it an attractive option for small -scale farmers who seek efficiency and sustainability.
According to UAF experts, the race could change the game for rural poultry agriculture, which helps meet the demands of eggs and meat in unattended areas.
The University has announced plans to distribute the breed throughout the country, with the aim of promoting local egg production and strengthening rural economies.
The low-maintenance nature of UNI-Gold also presents a viable opportunity for rural women to generate income, since it requires minimum resources and care
