Ghani Dairies Limited, part of the Ghani Group, has announced the completion of three state-of-the-art dairy farm sheds in accordance with international standards. The company shared this information through a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Thursday.
The new facilities include two steel-structure sheds with a combined covered area of approximately 105,000 square feet, capable of housing 800 milking cows each. Additionally, there is one shed with a covered area of about 25,200 square feet, designed to accommodate 200 milking cows.
In a statement, Ghani Dairies highlighted that these new sheds are part of the company’s ongoing expansion strategy aimed at improving herd welfare and health, increasing milk production capacity, and strengthening overall dairy farming operations. The facilities are equipped with modern infrastructure and the latest equipment to support higher productivity and operational efficiency.
The Ghani Group, founded in 1959, has grown into one of Pakistan's leading diversified business groups. In recent years, it has expanded its ventures, including launching Ghani Dairies Limited (GDL) in 2020 for the production and sale of raw milk. GDL supplies its entire milk output to leading dairy processors through long-term arrangements.
According to a company spokesperson, 'The construction of these sheds is crucial for our ongoing efforts to enhance the welfare and health of our milking herd while increasing our milk production capacity.' The new facilities are expected to contribute significantly to the group's operational efficiency and productivity.
Ghani Dairies has also been active in other dairy-related initiatives. In a separate development, the company recently imported another batch of 300 heifers from Australia, further bolstering its herd strength.
