Optima Life Sciences successfully organized a high-impact scientific conclave in Rajahmundry, bringing together poultry customers and veterinary professionals to explore the critical role of intestinal health in enhancing layer productivity. The conclave was held at Shelton Hotel and witnessed active participation from key stakeholders across the poultry industry.
The session commenced with a warm welcome note by Dr. CVC (Vice President, Sales, Optima Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd.), who introduced Optima Life Sciences and presented an overview of the company’s advanced manufacturing capabilities and dedicated research farm. Attendees gained valuable insights into Optima’s strong focus on innovation, quality, and research-driven solutions for modern poultry production.
The highlight of the conclave was an in-depth technical session delivered by eminent poultry expert Dr. U. C. Patel (Freelance Poultry Consultant | 31+ Years of Experience | South Asia, Middle East & Africa). He provided a comprehensive understanding of gut health challenges in layers, emphasizing that intestinal health is dynamic and continuously evolves across different phases of the layer lifecycle. During the pullet stage, the gut prepares for the onset of lay, while during peak production, the intestine undergoes constant physiological stress and wear, often compromising nutrient absorption efficiency.
Dr. Patel further highlighted that three fundamental pillars of gut health are crucial for sustaining layer performance—gut microbiota, gut integrity, and gut immunity. He elaborated on how any imbalance in these pillars directly impacts nutrient utilization, health status, and overall productivity. He also emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy intestinal environment, discussed the significance of medullary bone as a vital calcium reservoir for eggshell formation, and explained key factors affecting nutrient absorption, including microbial balance and intestinal morphology. The importance of probiotics in maintaining gut stability and resilience was also underlined.
A key scientific insight shared during the session was the role of tributyrins as an efficient energy source for intestinal epithelial cells (villi). Healthy and well-developed villi play a crucial role in maximizing nutrient absorption, ultimately translating into improved production performance.
The conclave concluded with a presentation by Dr. Kalyani (Senior Product Manager, Optima Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd.), who introduced ButyEster Pro 3, an advanced gut health solution developed by Optima Life Sciences. She highlighted how the product supports intestinal villi development and regeneration, promotes beneficial microflora balance, and enhances overall gut functionality. She further emphasized that all three critical pillars of gut health—microbiota, integrity, and immunity—are effectively addressed by ButyEster Pro 3, enabling birds to achieve and sustain peak production levels.
The event witnessed enthusiastic engagement and meaningful discussions, reflecting the industry’s growing recognition of gut health as a key driver of productivity and profitability in layer farming. Optima Life Sciences continues to lead with science-backed innovations aimed at addressing evolving challenges in poultry production.
