About Dr. G L Jain
The outstanding contributions of Dr. G L Jain towards Poultry renaissance of India are indeed very well known world-wide. A great visionary and crusader, he has been the main architect of “Poultry breed Development”.Dr.Jain is a staunch advocate of sustainable Poultry farming which would lead to “Poultry farming Revolution”, necessary for ensuring future household food and nutritional security. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he was awarded with many Prestigious national and international honors.
Poultry breeding visionary, Dr Gendalal Jain
After his graduation in poultry science in 1966 ,Dr Gendalal Jain was appointed Assistant professor at Udaipur university in India.After working for two years he continued his studies,leading to a PhD in Animal Breeding in 1971 from the university of British Colombia.Back in India, he joined as Director, Central poultry breeding farm,Govt. Of India where he successfully conducted the breeding programme for improvement of production in WHL and RIR Chickens. During this period he also established a Random sample test centre both for broilers and layers.
In 1980,Dr.Jain joined Venkateshwara Hatcheries pvt.Limited,Pune as chief Geneticists and was instrumental in planning and execution of the breeding programmes for both broilers and layers.Dr Genda Lal Jain,served 35 years as managing director of Venco Research and Breeding Farms.
Realizing that genotype -environment interaction is important, he designed and structured the Research programme to select and breed the Chickens in the same environment and husbandry practices under which they have to perform at the farmers place in India.
Dr Jain also realized that the relative economic merit for different traits of broilers and layers is different for western countries compared to the Indian market.He therefore, decided that the economic weightage to be given to different traits of economic importance in the selection indefinite his programme will have to be different than those that are used by geneticists in the western world.
This tailoring of the breeding programme according to the need and requirements of the Indian Poultry farmers, helped Dr Jain and his team to overcome the biggest challenge that is to develop products (Broilers and layers) which perform better than the imported products in India type of environment and husbandry conditions as well as the market requirements and thereby give maximum return to India poultry farmers.
The layer strain,BV300 developed by Dr Jain and his team has been the market leader consistently for the last 40 years. The market share of BV300 has been over 85% of the total layer sales in India in spite of the availability of various well known international breeds.
Similarly, the performance of Vencobb strain of broilers developed by Dr Jain and his team improved dramatically over the years. The Vencobb has also been enjoying the market share between 65 to 70 % for the last 3 decades, as of today it is more than 75%.He has done “outstanding work” in developing the Cobb 100, 400 and 430.
The most significant impact of indigenous breeding programme conducted by Dr Jain and his special contribution to Indian Poultry Industry is that small and marginal farmers with a very small land holding and very little investment could take up poultry as their vocation by constructing sheds by local materials like thatch roof and still get standard performance. This has brought great prosperity to many farmers who increased their flock size from 500 to 100000 + birds
Dr.Jain received Lifetime Achievement Award from BV Rao Research foundation in 2001 and prestigious MS Swaminathan Award in 2005 for his contribution to the poultry industry and indian Agriculture at large. A scroll of Honour was also presented to him by Indian Poultry science Association in 2008,in recognition of his contributions in the success of poultry farming in India.
Acknowledging Dr Jain’s work the Department of science and Technology, Govt.of India conferred the National Award for R&D efforts in the industry to broiler R&D unit in 1990 and Layer R&D unit in 1994.His company also got National productivity Award from the indian government.
Dr Jain is among few Geneticists in world who has successfully conducted both the layer and broiler breeding programme over the past 4 decades.He has published research papers and made presentations at many international conferences.This award will be geiven on the occasion of World Egg Day ,2nd Friday of October every year.
This year in 2023 the World Egg Day falls on 13th October.
