Participants emphasised the need for integrated farming approaches combining advanced nutrition, diagnostics, farm management practices, and sustainable technologies to improve long-term resilience and profitability.
Technical sessions covered topics such as poultry health, mucosal immunity, environmental management, vaccination strategies, water health, nanotechnology applications, and data-driven disease surveillance systems.
Industry specialists also highlighted the growing importance of digital monitoring tools and precision farming technologies in improving operational efficiency and reducing production risks.
Push for stronger poultry infrastructure
The discussions underscored the need for stronger surveillance systems, improved poultry infrastructure, and greater public-private collaboration to support sustainable sectoral growth.
Stakeholders noted that region-specific interventions and enhanced farmer awareness would be critical for boosting poultry productivity in states like Tripura.
The organisers said the event served as a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and policy discussions aimed at accelerating innovation and inclusive growth in India’s poultry industry.
