The year 1964; Pakistan was a young independent nation forging ahead towards a
dream: self-sufficiency in food production.
Malnutrition remained a major problem and one out of four children died before attaining the age of
five. 80% of ailing children were affected with diseases caused by protein, vitamin and mineral
deficiency.
Poultry production, the quickest and least expensive way of filling the protein gap was planned to
overcome malnutrition. Backyard poultry farming had to graduate to a more professional level.
January
1964, a young man, Khalil Sattar, still a college student,
had the vision to foresee a need to establish a poultry farm. His interest led him to start a small
broiler farm of 1,000 chicks. Little had he known this flock was to become the foundation stone of
K&N’s.
This was the simple, inspired and nationalistic beginning of K&N’s with a single-minded objective of
providing better nutrition for Health and Happiness
of the Nation.
