| In a bid to revolutionize livestock nutrition in Bangladesh, experts from Japan introduced advanced para-probiotics technology at a seminar held in the capital on June 27, 2025 Thursday. The event, hosted at Hotel Regency in Nikunja, showcased how cutting-edge innovations from Japan can transform animal feed practices and reduce antibiotic dependence in livestock production.
Organized by KAAS Trade in collaboration with Kyushu Medical, the seminar attracted veterinarians, animal nutritionists, feed mill operators, university academics, and farm managers from across the country. Dr. Maeda Minoru, Director of the Bio Industry Division at Kyushu Medical, delivered a featured presentation explaining the science behind para-probiotics — inactivated microbial cells that offer health benefits similar to traditional probiotics. According to Dr. Maeda, Japan has seen notable success in using para-probiotics to improve livestock immunity, optimize gut health, and ensure safer meat and dairy products. “Para-probiotics offer a sustainable alternative to antibiotics,” Dr. Maeda said. “By integrating this technology into animal feed, we can strengthen livestock health while promoting food safety.” Speakers at the event highlighted the need for Bangladesh to adopt more resilient and technology-driven approaches in its livestock sector. With rising concerns over antimicrobial resistance, the introduction of para-probiotics could play a key role in ensuring sustainable farming practices. KAAS Trade representatives shared their plans to collaborate with local farms, research centers, and feed manufacturers to introduce and scale this innovative technology across the country. Attendees expressed strong interest in future partnerships and called for more research and knowledge-sharing initiatives to support safe and efficient animal farming in Bangladesh. |
