Maahi Milk Producer Company Ltd.-MMPCL-is incorporated under the provisions of Part-9A of the companies` Act, 1956, during the year 2012, in the State of Gujarat. It was propagated by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) .MMPCL is the largest Milk Producer Company in India, having more than 1 lakh member base, operating in Saurashtra & Kutch regions of Gujarat.
Feed constitutes the most important factor affecting the productivity of milch cattle. Dairy cattle in India are mostly fed crop residues and a small amount of concentrate ingredients. The quantum of the concentrates fed depends on their availability and price rather than on nutritional requirements of the animal. These practices have restricted the milk production from dairy animals whose average milk output remains much below their genetic potential. Imbalanced feeding also negatively affects the reproductive cycles of the dairy animals. Consequently there are lengthier calving intervals which again negatively impacts on the no. of offspring available and the overall milk output during the lifespan of the Dairy animals. The concept of providing the dairy animal with nutritionally balanced feed in accordance with its physiological states such as growth, pregnancy and lactation is yet to be accepted and assimilated by the dairy farmer.
Against this backdrop MMPCL deemed it appropriate to get into the cattle feed business with the objective of providing scientifically formulated feed at affordable prices. The Animal feed business of MMPCL began operations in April 2018, by taking over NDDB’s feed plant at Rajkot in Gujarat. The plant has an installed capacity of 200 tons of feed per day. It also has facilities for the production of bypass protein and mineral mixture. The plant is currently engaged in the production of quality cattle feed for milch animals, area specific mineral mixtures. It has introduced new feed variants to cater to the specific nutritional needs of calves, buffaloes and high yielding animals. It also forayed into the ‘Specialty Feeds’ segment, and now manufactures feed for Equines, Camels and Laboratory Animals.
Our Animal Feed & Nutrition Unit has ISO-9001:2015 Certified Animal Feed manufacturing facilities. Our Maahi dan Power Cattle feed possesses ISI quality mark. Hence, you can always trust on the quality of our products.
With a team comprising highly skilled manpower and professional management and with a mission to make a difference in the ‘Feeds and Nutrition’ segment it is expected that this Unit will contribute significantly towards improving the productivity of livestock by providing scientifically formulated balanced cattle feed and Mineral mixture.
