Venkateshwara B. V Biocorp Pvt. Ltd organized layer farmer meetings on “concept and importance of organic trace minerals in layer nutrition and gut health management” on 20th Dec. 2024, Kurukshetra, Haryana.
Mr. H S Padda–DGM, North India welcomed to all layer farmers.
The technical session started with presentation on “Concept and importance of organic trace minerals in layer nutrition” Dr. Sunil Jadhav, Venkateshwara B. V Biocorp Pvt. Ltd. He discussed about concept of inorganic and organic trace minerals, chelation technology designed to improve mineral bioavailability. In trace minerals, bioavailability is the key for achieving optimum performance. Organic trace minerals (OTM) have been increasingly used in layer feed due to its higher bio-availability. Feeding highly bio-available organic trace minerals is important for prevention of egg shell breakage, dirty egg, better egg quality, improve egg production and bone development. Further, in egg shell mineralization process, sufficient level of Zn, Cu and Mnplays very critical role. Organic trace minerals come in various forms and structures, but selecting the best one to optimize the bird’s performance is the key. OTMIN-CL is a bis-chelate MHA (methionine hydro-analogue) organic trace minerals, designed as per requirement of modern laying hens to support health and egg shell quality in long laying cycle.
Dr. C BPande, Lallemand Animal Nutrition, France, discussed about importance of Gut health management and gut microbiota. How critical is the early development of gut health and strategies to develop the digestive system in early life. He explained that development of early gut microflora is very important for chicks as the digestive tract environment is practically sterile at the time of hatching. The microflora in the gastro intestinal tract grows slowly after hatching. Also, he discussed about unique probiotic formulation product Bactosacc for better gut health, reduction in % of dirty egg, and Bactosacc also improves breast muscle thickness development in rearing period, which is crucial for peak production and consistency of laying.
This technical seminar was very insightful for all layer farmers. Mr. Shashi Bhushan, proposed vote of thanks.
