Hyderabad, INDIA – Taking poultry production across India to the next level – with major gains in return on investment (ROI) – is the focus of the next phase of a major feed technology innovation drive by Canafa and CBS Bio Platforms.

The companies have teamed up to provide the country’s diverse and fast-evolving poultry sector with cutting-edge ‘bio-based’ feed additive solutions. The latest options are featured at the 14 edition Poultry India Expo, Nov. 23-25 in Hyderabad. (Visit stall W10– 11, Hall 5).

“The goal is to bring feed mills, integrators and farmers the latest and best feed innovations that can make a real difference to their success,” says Kanwaljit Singh Aluwalia, President of Canafa. “Poultry farming across India is on the cusp of an exciting phase of growth that can be supported and accelerated with adoption of these next generation science-based solutions.”

Partners in progress

The Canafa and CBS alliance began over two years ago with a focus on early adoption in northern regions. Based on strong initial response this initiative is now dramatically expanding to achieve broader market penetration across the country.

“We are strong believers in the potential of India to strengthen and expand its poultry sector – most importantly in a way that brings higher profits to farmers and their industry,” says Dr. Eduardo Tuason, South Asia Sales Manager with CBS Bio Platforms.

“Critical to achieving this potential is to provide the poultry sector with innovative, industry-leading feed technology. We look forward to sharing knowledge at the Poultry India Expo and to engaging more deeply with the poultry sector across India as we continue to expand our initiative with Canafa.”

Extracting higher value from feed

“Our CBS technologies allow customers to extract dramatically higher nutritional value out of the full range of locally available feed ingredients,” says Tuason. “They offer strong advantages to optimize profitability, support animal health and more, while also aligning with antibiotic-reduction and sustainability trends."
