To address the evolving disease landscape in poultry production, Stallen South Asia Pvt. Ltd. recently organized a focused technical seminar in Patna, Bihar, attended by 30 broiler breeder and layer farmers from the region.
The keynote session was delivered by Dr. Sushil Dhariwal, who spoke on “Emerging Challenges in IB, Mycoplasma and Marek’s Control in Poultry Production.” He highlighted the increasing complexity of Infectious Bronchitis due to variant strains, the persistent economic impact of Mycoplasma (MG & MS) infections, and the growing importance of strong early immunization strategies against Marek’s disease. Emphasis was placed on structured vaccination programs supported by monitoring, biosecurity, and scientific field evaluation.
Following his keynote address, farmers actively participated in an engaging and practical Q&A session with Dr. Dhariwal. The discussion covered field-level challenges such as fluctuating ELISA titres during lay, nephropathogenic IB concerns, Mycoplasma persistence in breeder flocks, and early-age Marek’s-related mortality patterns. The interactive exchange reflected the keen interest of producers in strengthening preventive health strategies through scientific understanding.
The program commenced with a welcome address by Mr. Biplab Deb, Regional Manager – East. An overview of the company’s philosophy and legacy was presented by Dr. Sanjay Singhal, COO, who spoke about the origin and growth of Stallen, its evolution as a science-driven animal health organization, and its unwavering commitment to quality and ethical practices. He underlined that the company’s foundation is built on technical excellence, stringent quality standards, and long-term partnerships with poultry producers. Dr. Singhal also highlighted that Stallen imports high-quality live and killed vaccines in collaboration with Fatro S.p.A., Italy, ensuring access to internationally benchmarked vaccine technology for the Indian poultry sector. The portfolio discussed during the seminar included vaccines for Marek’s disease, Mycoplasma (MG & MS), and IB–ND combinations, with emphasis on their strategic integration into breeder and layer vaccination programs.
The seminar concluded with a vote of thanks by Mr. Mmukesh Singh, Area Manager, acknowledging the enthusiastic participation of farmers and the valuable scientific insights shared during the session.
Such knowledge-sharing initiatives continue to play a crucial role in reinforcing disease preparedness and promoting sustainable productivity in Eastern India’s poultry industry.
