Following a steady trend in the prices of key ingredients, prices of poultry feed products remained unchanged. Subhash Sharma, Financial Head, Sarvottam Poultry Feed Supply Centre Pvt. Ltd, said that despite a fall in the prices of soyameal last week, prices of feed products have been kept unchanged because it is still ruling on the higher side, even after the recent fall.
Huge export of soyameal is a reason behind the high prices prevailing in the domestic market.
India exported 40 lakh tonnes of soyameal in 2011-12. On the other hand, an increment in the prices of maize and bajra last week is also not allowing us to slash the feed products at present, Sharma added.
Prices of the key ingredients of the poultry feed have been ruling range-bound, since last weekend. Soyameal quoted at around Rs 4,200-4,250 a quintal. Maize ruled around Rs 1,500 a quintal, bajra was at Rs 1,300 a quintal, DCP went for Rs 43 a kg, while fish oil sold at Rs 98 a litre.
