The poultry industry in Bangladesh was partly pioneered by the Biman subsidiary in the mid-1970s, although the first poultry in Bangladesh was a private venture named "Eggs and Hens" established in 1964.[3] The medium-sized breeder set up by BPC eventually led to NGOs and the government coming forward to develop the sector in early 1990.[4] Poultry now has "a significant role" in providing low-cost dietary protein to the Bangladesh population.[5]
Bird flu was detected at one of the farms in March 2007, which resulted in many livestock being culled.[6] This was the first incident of bird flu in Bangladesh.Шаблон:Citation needed
