Alltech India opens a new nutrition service laboratory and bolus manufacturing plant in Pune to strengthen livestock health solutions.
In a notable boost to India’s dairy and livestock nutrition landscape, Alltech India has commissioned a new Nutrition Service Laboratory and Bolus Manufacturing Plant at its Pune production facility. The facilities were officially inaugurated on mark an important step in strengthening science-based nutrition, quality assurance, and sustainable dairy farming practices in the country.
The expansion is aimed at delivering quicker and more precise nutritional analysis alongside accurately formulated bolus solutions. This will enable dairy farmers, feed producers, and integrators to take more informed decisions at a time when India’s dairy sector is undergoing rapid change, driven by productivity targets, sustainability priorities, and evolving market expectations.
Enhancing Scientific Support for Dairy Nutrition
The Nutrition Service Laboratory is equipped with advanced capabilities for feed and forage analysis, helping improve ration balancing and overall herd performance. As dairy producers face pressure from fluctuating milk prices and tightening margins, accurate and timely nutritional planning has become critical to sustaining profitability and milk quality.
The laboratory will support dairy operations by helping to:
-
Improve feed utilisation efficiency
-
Enhance milk yield and quality parameters
-
Reduce metabolic and transition-related disorders
-
Promote sustainable dairy farming practices
-
Support better management of methane emissions through nutrition-led interventions
By offering data-driven insights and science-backed recommendations, the facility contributes to the growing adoption of precision dairy farming and strengthens technical support across India’s dairy value chain.
Expanded Bolus Manufacturing Capabilities
The new bolus manufacturing plant significantly enhances Alltech India’s ability to produce consistent, high-quality bolus solutions designed for Indian livestock conditions. These boluses are essential for mineral supplementation, transition cow care, fertility management, and metabolic health support.
With increasing focus on nutrition-driven productivity and fortified dairy outcomes, the availability of scientifically formulated boluses is expected to improve herd health and long-term performance. The initiative also aligns with sustainability goals by encouraging efficient nutrient use and reducing input wastage.
Supporting Long-Term Dairy Sector Growth
As milk production expands across key dairy belts such as Maharashtra and Karnataka, investments in feed science, laboratory infrastructure, and quality systems are becoming increasingly important. The Pune facility will act as a technical hub for Alltech’s Indian operations, facilitating closer engagement with dairy cooperatives, private dairies, and feed manufacturers.
Industry experts note that such developments are vital as the dairy sector moves towards higher feed efficiency, value-added dairy products, and greater transparency across the supply chain.
Advancing the Future of Livestock Nutrition in India
The commissioning of these facilities reflects a broader industry shift towards evidence-based livestock management, environmentally responsible dairy practices, and innovation-led growth. With policy frameworks increasingly emphasising sustainability, productivity, and farmer income, investments in scientific infrastructure are expected to play a defining role in the next phase of India’s dairy sector evolution.
Through this expansion, Alltech India strengthens its position as a technology-driven partner to dairy farmers, offering improved product reliability, actionable insights, and sustainable nutrition solutions tailored to Indian conditions.
