“At Zamira, our focus is on bridging science with field practice. This event was about empowering veterinarians with tools and knowledge that support poultry health and farmer success,” remarked Dr. Shaveta in her opening address.
The highlight of the conference was a knowledge-sharing presentation by Dr. Vorachai Leethochawalit, internationally renowned consultant from Bangkok, Thailand, who brings over 42 years of field expertise in poultry health and nutrition. In his presentation, titled “From Shell to Skeleton – Calcium’s Overlooked Story in Layers”, Dr. Vorachai emphasised the crucial role of calcium in shell strength and skeletal health of layer birds.
“Strong shells begin with strong skeletons. By improving medullary bone health with highly bioavailable calcium, we can extend the productive laying cycle and reduce lameness, creating benefits that reach right through to farm profitability,” said Dr. Vorachai.
Dr. Vorachai also introduced Zamira’s latest innovation for the Indian market—ZamiBoost Shell Strength. This product contains plant-based marine calcium combined with a mineral complex of 72 trace minerals, designed to enhance shell quality, improve laying percentage, and maintain performance during extended laying periods. By improving shell strength and skeletal health, ZamiBoost Shell Strength delivers practical benefits for producers, including more saleable eggs, reduced incidence of lameness, and higher value from spent hens.
The program continued with insights from Mr. Vikas Gour, Country Manager for Zamira partner, Celtic Sea Minerals, who shared details on the development and introduction of ZamiBoost Shell Strength for the Indian poultry sector, followed by a comprehensive overview of Zamira’s product range presented by Dr. Shailaja Rajyam, Product and Marketing Manager, Zamira Australia, and Dr. Sandhanu J, Techno-Commercial Manager, Zamira Australia.
