“Vitamin D3 Metabolism – Beat the Science with Panbonis®”
India & Nepal | September 2026 — GLAMAC International, a leading poultry nutrition company from India, successfully concluded a series of technical seminars focused on the science and practical importance of Vitamin D3 metabolism in modern poultry production.
Held under the theme “Vitamin D3 Metabolism – Beat the Science with Panbonis®”, the seminar series brought together leading poultry consultants, practising veterinarians, broiler, layer and breeder farmers, feed millers, nutritionists and other industry professionals.
The seminars were conducted at:
- 3 September 2026 – Hotel Avasa, Hyderabad, India
- 5 September 2026 – Hotel Golden Palace, Namakkal, India
- 9 September 2026 – Radisson Hotel Kathmandu, Nepal
The programs provided a platform for poultry professionals to gain deeper insights into the evolving nutritional challenges associated with modern high-performing poultry breeds and the role of advanced Vitamin D3 metabolism in addressing these challenges.
Vitamin D3 Metabolism – A Critical Factor in Modern Layer Production
Dr. Sumon Nag Chowdhury, Deputy General Manager – Technical & Sales, GLAMAC International, highlighted how the genetic advancement of modern layer birds has significantly influenced their nutritional requirements.
Today’s layer breeds are developed for higher production, greater persistency and extended laying cycles beyond 100 weeks. With this remarkable genetic potential, efficient Vitamin D3 metabolism becomes increasingly important for maintaining production performance, eggshell quality, skeletal integrity and overall bird health throughout the laying cycle.
Dr. Chowdhury explained the science and concept behind Panbonis® – born by research, protected by patents, an innovative solution from Herbonis, Switzerland. He highlighted how the biological activity of Panbonis® goes beyond simply supplying conventional Vitamin D3, offering a scientifically differentiated approach to Vitamin D metabolism in poultry.
Research-Driven Innovation from Herbonis, Switzerland
A major highlight of the seminar series was the presentation by Ms. Katia Pedrosa, Global Product Manager, Innovad Group, who shared extensive research findings, scientific studies and field trial results related to Panbonis®.
Through scientific evidence and practical trial data, Ms. Pedrosa presented the unique mode of action and demonstrated benefits of Panbonis®, particularly in relation to calcium metabolism, eggshell quality, skeletal health, production performance and the nutritional demands of extended laying cycles.
Her presentation generated considerable interest among participants, with engaging discussions on the application of advanced Vitamin D metabolism in modern poultry production and the potential role of Panbonis® in supporting long-term flock performance.
GLAMAC: Innovation & Excellence for Sustainable Poultry Production
Speaking at the Kathmandu event, Mr. Abir Mukherjee, Managing Director, GLAMAC International, emphasized the company’s commitment to “Innovation & Excellence” and its objective of bringing scientifically backed and sustainable solutions to the poultry industry.
