From August 28 to September 1, an international conference was held in Warsaw, organized by AdiFeed Poultry Academy, a member company of the Association. The event gathered representatives from the poultry industry from various regions of the world.
The conference combined lectures, workshops, and networking sessions, creating a space for discussions on sustainable food production and responsible business practices. Witold Nowak, President of AdiFeed, presented the company’s mission, focusing on innovation, the development of phytogenic products, and the implementation of One Health principles. During the event, challenges in the poultry market, such as avian flu, legislative changes, and effective coccidiosis control programs, were also discussed. Participants emphasized the growing importance of phytoncides in poultry production as an alternative to traditional coccidiostats and antibiotics.
Through comprehensive actions, AdiFeed not only helps reduce the use of antibiotics but also effectively supports gut integrity and the microbiome of animals, which is key to their health and farming efficiency. The company continuously develops its products to meet the demands of both European and international markets, offering innovative solutions that assist customers at every stage of production. We are also developing technologies that minimize greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainable development. Importantly, the full potential of phytobiotics is still being discovered, leaving room for the introduction of new phytobiotic-based products.
– emphasized Paulina Abramowicz, PhD, Scientific Director at AdiFeed.
During the conference, the company introduced a new phytobiotic product that enhances the quality and safety of poultry meat while improving animal welfare. EU regulations on animal welfare, antibiotic reduction, and challenges related to avian flu were also discussed, highlighting the need for joint efforts to improve poultry production standards and implement alternative solutions. In this context, quality control processes, the use of herbs, and essential oils in poultry production are essential. These efforts result in improved animal health and reduced reliance on traditional chemotherapeutics, supporting sustainable production.
