In a significant step towards improving feed safety and supporting poultry farmers, Bentoli organized a Poultry Farmers’ Meet in association with the West Bengal Poultry Federation (WBPF) at the Federation’s office in Mednipore. The event witnessed active participation from 25 key poultry farmers from the region and served as a platform to address critical issues related to mycotoxin management in poultry feed.
The centerpiece of the event was the handover of a state-of-the-art Rapid Mycotoxin Analyzer to the West Bengal Poultry Federation by Bentoli. This contribution marks a collaborative effort to empower local farmers with tools that enable faster, more accurate detection of mycotoxins in feed and raw materials—an essential factor for maintaining poultry health and ensuring feed quality.
Mr. Prasanna Balaji, Assistant Manager R&D, installed the analyzer at the WBPF office and demonstrated its usage. The rapid detection capability of the device, which delivers toxin results within minutes, was well received by the attending farmers.
Dr. Sushanta Saha, Regional Sales Director-South & South East Asia, addressed the audience, reiterating Bentoli’s mission to support the livestock community through innovative solutions.
“Feed contamination from mycotoxins remains one of the major hidden challenges in poultry farming. By providing this rapid analyzer, Bentoli aims to equip farmers with a proactive tool to safeguard poultry health and minimize economic losses,” he said.
The gesture was highly appreciated by the WBPF. Mr. Madhan Mohan Maity, General Secretary, WBPF, lauded the initiative, stating:
“Bentoli has always demonstrated a strong commitment to farmer welfare. This contribution will significantly enhance the diagnostic capabilities of our members and improve decision-making at the field level.”
The attending farmers shared their on-ground experiences and highlighted the need for accessible technologies like rapid toxin testing. Many expressed gratitude for Bentoli’s support and acknowledged the importance of such initiatives in their daily operations.
Mr. Tapan Kumar Ghosh, Advisor, East India Region, further emphasized the financial impact of mycotoxin-contaminated feed and discussed Bentoli’s ongoing efforts to provide holistic mitigation strategies and field-level support.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Mr. Partha (TSM, Bardhaman) and Mr. Ayan (SE, Contai) who reaffirmed Bentoli’s commitment to strengthening farmer relationships through continuous engagement and practical solutions for the poultry industry.
This initiative underscores Bentoli’s long-standing vision of delivering “Better Feed, Better Food” by bridging the gap between advanced feed technologies and the farmer community.
