environment. The prolonged monsoon had its impact on key raw materials such as
de-oiled rice bran, maize resulting in increased cost for the Company, which
could not be passed on to the customers due to increased competition. Avian
influenza detected in Western parts of the country impacted the Poultry Feed
sales of the Company. Golden Feed Products Limited, a subsidiary of the
company, acquired the Shrimp Feed Marketing business of Higashimaro Feeds (
INTEGRATED POULTRY BUSINESS

take of the poultry products. However, the Company has been able to control the
cost by continuing to achieve breakthrough performance in its breeding
business. The Company's new TV Commercial for Real Good Chicken drew in new
customers and helped the business report good growth in the face of such
adversities.

performance with growth in the top line of 40% and growth in the bottom line of
49%. Aadhaars have been positioned as centres of 'Khushion ka, Khushhali ka',
