Bairaha Farms PLC has modernized its laboratory with the addition of Microbiological laboratory, the company has been able to assess and ensure the hygiene standards in its factories, farms and hatcheries, among others, while testing processed chicken and chicken meat products to ensure product quality conforming to both international and local quality standards.

Bairaha’s Eliza laboratory established way back in 1995, helps to monitor and assess the health status of the poultry breeding and commercial broiler birds.

With the availability of the newly added PCR testing, the company’s laboratory will have at its disposal, tools to diagnose any poultry related infections at the early stage in any given flock of breeder and commercial broiler chicks/birds to take timely corrective actions. Similar to PCR tests that are being used for detection of pathogenic microorganism in regard to analysis of food products, the chicken and our meat products samples can also be tested regularly to strengthen our product quality and food safety.

In the same way the Bairaha’s Eliza and Microbiological laboratory have been providing its services to other poultry farmers and organizations, it will offer its PCR testing facilities to these customers, to enable them to improve the health status of their flocks as well food safety of chicken and other products of these organizations.

At the inauguration of the new laboratory, Bairaha Farms PLC Managing Director/CEO Yakooth Naleem stated; “With nearly 47 years of dedicated service to the poultry industry, Bairaha Farms has also received many local and international accolades and in 2022 it is expected to generate around US$1.5mn in export earnings, which can be substantially increased if the government fast-track agreements specially with governments of Middle-East countries to enable chicken to be exported to those countries.”
