Staff Correspondent: A highly significant seminar titled "Better Poultry Health, Higher Ruminant Performance" was held on Saturday (18 July) at the Hotel Regency & Resort in Dhaka. Jointly organized by Shanghai Menon Animal Nutrition Technology Co., Ltd. and Bengal Agrovet Ltd., the event brought together industry experts, farmers, and entrepreneurs to discuss critical advancements in animal nutrition and disease management. For a densely populated country like Bangladesh, this seminar carries immense importance for poultry and livestock farmers, particularly those involved in dairy and meat production.
The seminar featured two key technical sessions led by renowned experts. Dr. Huang Jingyu, a PhD and Poultry Nutritionist, presented on "Salmonella Problem Management Plan: The Biggest Problem of Poultry Industry in Bangladesh," addressing crucial bio-security and safety challenges. Following this, Dr. Muhammad Khan, a Technical Expert and Animal Nutritionist (PhD/Postdoc), discussed the "Protein Nutrition Strategy for Achieving High Yield and Efficiency in Ruminants," highlighting ways to optimize feed for better milk and meat production.
Among the key dignitaries and organizers present at the event were Darren Wang, Managing Director (South Asia, Middle East, Africa) of Shanghai Menon; Sudipto Sajol Kha, South Asia Business Manager of Shanghai Menon; Md. Jalal Uddin, Chairman of Bengal Agrovet Ltd.; and Tarek Mahmood Khan, Managing Director of Bengal Agrovet Ltd. Along with them, many other high-profile professionals, industry leaders, and stakeholders from the poultry and livestock sectors attended the seminar.
Prioritizing poultry and livestock health is vital for the sustainability of the sector, as better health management directly reduces disease outbreaks and minimizes production costs. Furthermore, to ensure the supply of safe milk, eggs, and meat for the public, farm owners must place a strong focus on high-quality and safe feed production. This seminar offers invaluable insights that will help poultry and livestock entrepreneurs, farmers, and consumers alike, fostering a safer food ecosystem and sustainable growth in Bangladesh's agricultural sector.
