As livestock farmers look to attain increased production, one of the most crucial concerns they face is nutrition. While there has been significant progress in terms of understanding alternative components, unlocking the full potential of feed formulations needs a comprehensive approach. Moreover, with a number of variables affecting the productivity of the livestock, like – seasonal change, type of breed, each challenge and situation calls for a customized solution that meets each criterion in a dedicated form. However, surging cost of the nutritional solution along with high processing time turns procurement of a tailor-made solution into a Sisyphean task.
“The nutritional solutions available in the market are often all the same throughout the year. Today, there are a handful of solution providers that deliver customized solutions that meet clients' unique needs", says Dr. Ravi Pachaiyappan, Founder of Biosint Nutraceuticals. It is a customer centric entity striving to deliver tailor-made solutions to its clients.
At Biosint Nutraceuticals, we are a proactive team, providing nutritional solutions to specific problems of the industry. Our specialized expertise in rightly identifying the problems and developing an effective solution at a fast pace, providing our clients with dedicated solutions at the most critical hour. In a nutshell, our solution varies from customer to customer, animal to animal and season to season”, adds Dr. Ravi.
Since its inception, quality of the nutritional supplements has been the biggest priority for Biosint Nutraceuticals. “The requirement of nutraceutical supplements in feed development is crucial. However, cost of the products being a major challenge for the farmers, they often negotiate with the quality of the product. This is where we fit in. Our team has been in a constant quest of maintaining the price and performance of the solutions”, states Dr. Ravi.
Today, every product manufactured at Biosint passes through several checkpoints, both in the lab and on the field. Starting with development of the products, they at first pass through controlled laboratory tests; wherein all the specifications of the products are scrutinized in terms with different industrial requirements, such as - MSDS. If the product meets the necessary criterias, it is then put forward to trial runs. Only after the successful completion of the trial runs, the supplements are processed for batch production. Every batch is then individually tested on the several farms, to take a note on the actual productivity of the supplement.
Each and every nutritional supplement, that is forwarded to the clients, passes through rigorous tests to ensure the quality and assure the output, Furthermore, Dr. Ravi himself continually engages in understanding the clients’ problem and his team collects the feedback from the clients, to upgrade and develop the supplements as per their criteria.
“We have our own specific testing labs and farms, wherein our products are strictly tested. We ensure the delivery of the finest and best-in-class quality products to our clientele”, points Dr. Ravi.
