What Big Bird Group does

Big Bird Group is a Lahore-headquartered, privately held Pakistani poultry conglomerate founded in 1985 by Mr. Abdul Basit, Dr. Muhammad Mustafa Kamal, and Dr. Abdul Kareem. It operates six wholly-owned constituent companies spanning the full poultry value chain: Grand Parent Poultry (in collaboration with Hubbard, USA) produces Hubbard parent stock day old chicks; Big Bird Poultry Breeders operates breeding farms and hatcheries producing day old broiler chicks; Big Feed manufactures poultry and dairy feed; Big Bird Foods processes frozen, fresh chilled, and value-added chicken products; Green Nature Farms produces grains for feed; and Pak Tek Associates supplies veterinary medicines, vaccines, and disinfectants. The group's flagship GPP operation caters to approximately 60% of Pakistan's total broiler market demand according to company disclosures.

The group operates a nationwide sales and distribution network spanning 14+ regional offices from Peshawar to Karachi, complemented by international exports of hatchable eggs and day old chicks to the Middle East, South East Asia, and Far East markets. Big Bird Foods' processing facility, located at Jambar Khurd on Multan road, is equipped with technology from Meyn (Netherlands), CFS (Netherlands), JBT (Sweden), Ruhle (Germany), Lima (France), and Ishida (UK), and the group's production standards have been compared favorably by Hubbard with its European and American operations. The group reports approximately 2,600 direct employees and a turnover of around Rs. 8.5 Billion.

Big Bird Group generates revenue across multiple streams: B2B sales of Hubbard parent stock day old chicks and broiler day old chicks to breeding companies and poultry growers, sales of poultry and dairy feed, sale of live broilers in the local market, processed chicken products through Big Bird Foods, exports of hatchable eggs and day old chicks, and ancillary services including diagnostic lab services and supply of veterinary products. The vertically integrated model enables internal supply of chicks, feed, and veterinary products across the group's own farms while external customers are served through the direct sales network. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated directly with B2B counterparties; no public pricing is disclosed.
