Poultry Industry Leaders Highlight Automation, Feed Efficiency and Disease Prevention as Key Growth Drivers
BENGALURU, INDIA — Poultry Expo Bengaluru 2026 concluded on June 13 after three days of intensive business discussions, technology showcases and industry networking, reinforcing the poultry sector’s growing focus on productivity, biosecurity and sustainable production systems.
Held at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), the exhibition brought together poultry producers, feed manufacturers, animal health companies, breeding firms, hatchery operators, equipment suppliers and industry stakeholders from across India and overseas markets. The event showcased the latest developments in poultry nutrition, housing systems, automation, environmental control technologies, animal health products and processing solutions.

Industry participants noted that the Indian poultry sector is entering a new phase of modernization driven by rising protein consumption, increasing integration, higher biosecurity expectations and growing demand for operational efficiency.
Technology Adoption Dominates Industry Conversations
Automation emerged as one of the central themes of the exhibition, with exhibitors presenting advanced feeding systems, climate-control technologies, sensor-based monitoring solutions and digital farm-management platforms.
Producers are increasingly exploring technologies capable of improving:
-
Feed conversion efficiency
-
Bird health monitoring
-
Environmental management
-
Labor productivity
-
Production traceability
-
Data-driven decision making
Several exhibitors demonstrated smart poultry house solutions incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, real-time environmental monitoring and automated ventilation systems designed to optimize bird performance while reducing production costs.
Biosecurity Remains Top Priority
The ongoing global concern surrounding avian influenza and other transboundary animal diseases placed biosecurity firmly at the center of industry discussions.
Veterinary pharmaceutical companies, vaccine manufacturers and biosecurity specialists highlighted new approaches to disease prevention, surveillance and farm hygiene management.
Industry experts emphasized that robust biosecurity systems are becoming increasingly important as poultry operations scale up and international trade requirements become more stringent. The exhibition featured a strong presence from companies involved in:
-
Poultry vaccines
-
Feed additives
-
Water sanitation
-
Disinfection technologies
-
Diagnostic solutions
-
Veterinary pharmaceuticals
Participants repeatedly stressed that disease prevention remains significantly more cost-effective than outbreak management, particularly for commercial poultry operations.
Feed and Nutrition Sector Drives Innovation
Feed manufacturers and nutrition companies represented one of the largest exhibitor categories at the event.
With feed accounting for approximately 65–70 percent of poultry production costs, discussions focused heavily on improving feed efficiency, ingredient utilization and nutritional performance. Industry participants highlighted increasing interest in:
-
Precision nutrition
-
Enzyme technologies
-
Gut health solutions
-
Functional feed additives
-
Alternative protein sources
-
Mycotoxin management
Nutrition specialists noted that producers are increasingly seeking technologies capable of maintaining bird performance while mitigating volatility in raw material prices.
