History

---

Karma Feed is the flagship project of Karma Group. It was started in 1982 with the feeds machinery grant provided by the erstwhile Department of Animal Husbandry under the Ministry of Agriculture. Initially, Karma Feeds produced and supplied mash type feeds for government farms in the country. At the time, It only had a small mixer machine with a one ton production capacity

With the increased feeds demand from across the country, Karma Feeds upgraded its production capacity by installing new machinery and equipment at its plant located at Amochhu (Toorsa) bank in Phuentsholing.

In the last decade, the Royal Government’s prioritization of commercial agriculture and livestock farming to boost food self-sufficiency and food security triggered the feeds demand. To further meet the significant surge in demand for animal feeds, a bigger mill for steam formed pellet making was established in 2017 at the Pasakha Industrial Estate in Phuentsholing at the total cost of Nu 200 million. The plant’s capacity is 200 tons.

Karma Feeds is the leading animal feeds manufacturer and supplier in the country, meeting around 75% of the total feeds requirement. It has over 68 sale agents spread across the country, with at least two agents in each dzongkhag.

Karma Feeds produces a wide range of feeds for cattle, pig, fish, and poultry. Karma Feeds also provides proper instructions and hands-on trainings for farmers on how to use the feeds. Karma Feeds has a total 55 employees.

Karma Feeds has a standard laboratory staffed with trained professionals at its plant in Pasakha to constantly monitor the quality of the raw materials entering the plant and the finished products exiting the plant. Karma Feeds strictly follows the code of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to:

• Protect the health of human consumer of food products derived from livestock fed prepared stock feeds;

VIEW BROILER MANUAL

Good Management Practices:

• Systematic Lighting during the laying period increases egg production.

• Uniform body weight of birds should be maintained for better production of eggs.

• Layer feed should be introduced after the bird attains a weight of 1500 gm.

• Change of feed from one category feed to another should be introduced gradually in order to avoid stress to the birds.

• Top dressing shell grit (oyster shell) should be fed during peak production to maintain eggshell quality. site built for karma feeds, any of the content filled in this site may be not relevant to karma feeds or any other company.

Urea Molasses Minerals Block (UMMB)

---

The UMMB is a high protein concentrated feed in addition containing necessary Ammo unt of Carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins. The Urea supplies as protein to the Microbes and increase the population of microbes and thereby it maintenance rumen microbial environment which enhance the digestion of cellulous.

Ruminant diets are especially based on fibrous feeds: mainly pastures and crop residues like; straw, maize. These feeds are imbalanced as they are deficient in protein, minerals and vitamins and since they are highly lignified their digestibility is low and thus the UMMB will help the digestion of Lignin with the help of micro flora.

• Satisfying the requirements of the rumen microorganisms to ensure efficient fermentation of fiber and increased production of microbial protein.

• This micro flora will pass from rumen to abomasums and met the requirement of protein which in turn increase the milk, meat and wool production.

Precautions while supplementing UMMB:-

DO'S

• Fed strictly to ruminants only(sheep, goats, cattle)

• Blocks should fed as a feed supplement and not as the basic ration

• The Amount of UMMB blocks fed to sheep and goats should be limited to 100 grams/day.

• Supply sufficient Amount of water to avoid urea toxicity.

• Block should be fed as a lick.

• The block should be introduced slowly and should feed forage in adequate quantity.

DONT'S

• Harmful to mono gastric animal, i.e. horses, donkeys, or Pigs.

• Avoid feeding young ruminants less than six months of age (Calf, kids and Lambs)

• Never give block to a thin animal with an empty stomach, there is risk of poisoning due to excessive consumption.

• The Block should never be supplied in ground (Powder) form or dissolved in water as this can result in over consumption resulting toxicities of Urea.

Quality

Be competitive with any livestock feeds whether produced in country or imported in terms of nutrient contents and price, In particular we will meet the nutritional requirement of improved farm animals in mountainous farming system.

GMP for raw materials purchase, processing, storage and use every good farming practice within the set parameter linking farm to flock with safety to animals, products, consumers and to environment. Where possible and feasible the raw material requirement will be met through internal production within the country to provide opportunities of cash income to the agriculture farming sector

Ensure safe and environment friendly waste disposal method and strictly follows 3 Rules:
