The Indian Poultry Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) will organise a three-day poultry expo in Hyderabad from November 27.

A technical seminar with the theme ‘Unlocking Poultry Potential’ will be held on November 26.

Over 400 exhibitors from about 50 countries will take part in the expo. Over 40,000 poultry farmers and others in the ecosystem are expected to participate in the 16th edition of the event.

The Knowledge Day event on November 26 will feature sessions on modem poultry production, innovations in feed mills nutrition, and animal health.

“The seminar provides an exceptional opportunity to learn from the best minds in the industry,” Uday Singh Bayas, President of IPEMA, said.

Issues for discussion

The seminar would have seven sessions, covering some key issues that confront the poultry industry.

K G Anand of Venkateshwara Hatcheries Limited has said that the poultry industry has a huge scope as the consumption of eggs was going up significantly.
“It is the only sector that can quickly augment the incomes of farmers. Agricultural incomes are growing at a slow pace of 3-4 per cent. A large chunk of farmers are still dependent on agriculture for their likelihood. If we want to help farmers to grow their incomes, promoting poultry is the best option,” he said.

“The expo has gained prominence in the global poultry ecosystem. We are expecting a large turnout this time. It will provide a platform for the stakeholders to explore new business opportunities, and discover the latest advancements in the sector and feed technologies,” Anil Dhumal, Founder of IPEMA, said.
