[Pune, INDIA] — Alltech President and CEO Dr. Mark Lyons unveiled the Alltech Nutrition Service Laboratory at the company’s Pune facility on Jan. 16, marking an important step in strengthening nutrition support across South Asia for Alltech. The event was attended by Alltech customers, farmers, partners, industry leaders and media and celebrated with music, dancers and floral decorations, reflecting the energy and optimism of the Alltech South Asia team.
The newly launched Nutrition Service Laboratory has been designed to support farmers at large and feed producers across the region at a time when South Asia is facing increasing protein demand alongside growing feed quality and safety challenges.
“As South Asia grows, so does the region’s demand for premium animal protein. This is a massive opportunity for South Asian farmers, but it requires a new level of precision,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. “By launching this new laboratory in Pune, we are delivering real-time, actionable intelligence. Pairing our laboratory precision with our on-farm tools such as Alltech RAPIREAD™ and infrared thermography offers farmers a roadmap to superior animal health, stronger productivity and long-term sustainability.”
The lab can test 50 feed and raw material parameters in Phase 1, with plans to nearly double this capacity in the next phases. These services are complemented by advanced on-farm tools such as Alltech® RAPIREAD™, infrared cameras, eggshell analysis tools and Draeger meters, ensuring producers and farmers receive practical, science-based support across the poultry, dairy and aqua sectors.
Highlighting the importance of the new laboratory, Dr. Aman Sayed, Alltech’s managing director for India and regional director for South Asia, emphasized its role in translating science into practical outcomes.
“The Nutrition Service Lab is not just a testing facility, it is a bridge between science and the farm,” said Dr. Aman. “It helps the users to clearly understand what is happening in their feed and raw materials and allows us to guide them with practical, targeted nutritional solutions that deliver real value.”
Alltech South Asia is also pleased to announce expanded production capabilities with a new bolus manufacturing unit featuring a capacity of 10,000 boluses per hour. Bringing this production in house will enhance efficiency, improve supply reliability and reduce environmental impact, all benefits that extend directly to neighboring markets.
The Pune facility also reflects Alltech’s commitment to sustainability, with major investments in clean energy and environmentally responsible operations.
