quality and reduce costs
Businesses
Our diverse businesses are well integrated to optimise quality. Our business portfolio has expanded over time to span the length and breadth of the poultry industry.
At Skylark, we integrate
our operations to achieve
two end results:
Caters to both - our internal requirements and external clients through high quality
broiler
parent stock
commercial
broiler chicks
commercial
layer chicks
Our operations bring in the best of both worlds; so while we incorporate a number of best practices and technologies, we have leveraged our manufacturing and fabrication prowess to indigenously manufacture the incubators and hatcher and setter trays as per our requirements. Our hatcheries are spread across various locations in India.
Automated egg grading machines for uniform flocks
Digital incubators maintain optimal temperature, humidity and oxygen levels
Trained and proficient workforce
Feed Production
Poultry feed is a major factor in determining the quality of processed food. Hence, towards our resolute approach of using only the most nutritious and wholesome feed, we expanded our scale of operations to install a fully automatic, computerised auto-batch pellet feed mill in 2003, under the company name of Skylark Feeds Pvt. Ltd.
We used the finest raw
ingredients like maize, soya,
wheat and corn to produce
We operate a number of ultramodern, fully automatic pellet feed plants across India, with combined capacity to produce 1,800 MT of high quality feed per day
Our in-house laboratory screens and tests the nutritional content of raw materials. This lab is equipped with advanced equipment like the NIR food analyser.
Automated processes maintain consistency in feed formulation and palletisation, hence maintaining homogeneity of all ingredients, whereas steam treatment prevents microbial infection.

Broiler Farming
We undertake broiler farming through contract farms and in-house farms.
CONTRACT FARMING
In the year 2000, we started contract broiler farming with 20,000 Day Old Chicks. Over the years, we have grown as a trusted partner for the farmer community. Today, we place over 2 million DOCs per month to multiple farms spread across North India.
We collaborate with the farmers and provide them end-to-end support, right from the poultry feed, expenses incurred on energy consumption, technical know-how to modern infrastructure.
The birds obtained from the farmers are thoroughly inspected for desired weight and health, and only then they are sold.
The farmers not only earn a steady income from this collaboration, but are also awarded performance incentives.
COMMERCIAL FARMING
In 2008, we set up technologically advanced Commercial Broiler Farms in Pilani, Rajasthan to multiply our production capacity of healthy birds.
These facilities have Environment Controlled houses with latest technological interventions like nipple drinking and silos-based feeding systems.
Industry standard biosecurity measure and hygiene practices followed
Minimal human intervention inside the sheds
All In All Out principle is also applied for broiler replacements
Grandparent Operations
Well begun is half done. In the poultry industry, the genetic make-up of the breed plays an important role in its eventual profitability. In order to better control the quality of our chicken, we established India's first ultra-modern, closed environment controlled houses for Grandparent operations in 2002.
World-class farm located at an isolated and highly biosecure location
High pedigree imported chicks used for farming
All the operations continuously monitored by expert professionals
and veterinarians
Parent Stock Broiler Operations
The broiler parent stock laying operations form an important business segment for Skylark. Day-old broiler chicks are supplied to independent contract growers and own broiler farms which grow the chicks over 36 days to the correct slaughter weight. Our farms are spread across various locations in North India.
Parent Stock Layer Operations
Parent stock forms a crucial link in commercial poultry industry as they are the breeders used to produce the layers or broilers used in the production houses. Skylark Hatcheries initiated PS Layer operations in 2002. Skylark's integrated facilities comprise standalone hatcheries and units for breeding, growing and laying units.

Controlled houses for
better hygiene and safety
