Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Outstanding feed efficiency — a smaller hen eats less to stay alive
  • Well suited to cage systems

Trade-offs

  • White eggs, which not every Pakistani market pays the same for
  • Smaller bird means lower cull value at the end of the cycle

In Pakistan

Most Pakistani farm-gate egg trade is in white eggs, which makes W-36 and similar white layers commercially relevant here in a way they are not in brown-egg markets.
