Agrivet Research and Advisory Inaugurates Advanced Poultry Diagnostic Laboratory in Barwala

Agrivet Research & Advisory Inaugurates Advanced Poultry Diagnostic Laboratory in Barwala, Expanding Precision Diagnostics to Northern India

Agrivet Research & Advisory Private Limited, a leader in poultry research and technical solutions, hosted a high-profile hybrid inauguration event titled “An Evening with Agrivet” at the Holiday Inn Chandigarh Zirakpur. The event marked the formal launch of Agrivet Laboratories in Barwala, Haryana, expanding the company’s analytical and diagnostic footprint from its eastern roots to the core of northern India’s poultry belt. The expansion operates under the strategic theme: “From Kolkata to Barwala — Expanding Horizons, Preserving Precision.”

The grand launch brought together approximately 100 on-ground delegates—including prominent poultry integrators, progressive farmers, technical consultants, veterinarians, and nutrition experts— alongside a large cohort of virtual attendees joining via Google Meet from the company’s Kolkata headquarters and other regional locations. Highlighting the integration of technology, the evening featured an exclusive pre-produced virtual video tour detailing the cutting-edge infrastructure of the Barwala facility, followed by a synchronized digital ribbon-cutting and curtain-unveiling ceremony led by key industry dignitaries.

Addressing Industry Challenges through Technical Excellence

The seminar featured comprehensive technical presentations delivered by industry stalwarts, focusing on precision, disease prevention, and operational economics:

• Vision, Capabilities, and Service Portfolio: Dr. Sudipto Haldar opened the technical sessions by outlining Agrivet’s corporate journey since 2012 and detailing how its expanded laboratory capabilities are structured to empower the modern poultry ecosystem.
• Leveraging Laboratory Analytics: Dr. U. C. Patel discussed the strategic role of robust laboratory testing in precision feed manufacturing, demonstrating how precise feed formulations directly optimize flock performance and maximize economic returns for producers.
• Emerging Poultry Health Challenges: Dr. Sushil Dhariwal addressed the evolving disease landscape in the region, emphasizing the vital role that advanced diagnostic screening plays in early disease detection, structural biosecurity, and effective outbreak control.
• Delivering Advanced Diagnostics Closer to the Field: Dr. Anirvid Sarkar concluded the presentations by highlighting the logistical advantage of the Barwala facility. By establishing advanced diagnostic infrastructure locally, Agrivet drastically reduces sample turnaround times, enabling farmers and integrators to make swift, data-driven health management decisions.

Operational Readiness and Network Core

Commercial operations at the Barwala laboratory are scheduled to officially commence on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, bringing unparalleled technical advisory and analytical precision to the northern region.

While the newly launched Barwala facility expands physical proximity to northern poultry farms, it is backed by the extensive technical expertise of Agrivet’s central operations. The company’s established Kolkata hub holds a robust network of certifications and regulatory compliance frameworks, including NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, CCSEA registration, DSIR recognition, and ISO 9001:2015 certification. This structural backing ensures that the Barwala laboratory can seamlessly leverage the foundational scientific precision, standard operating procedures, and technical excellence engineered at the Kolkata headquarters.

Expanding Support for Regional Growth

The establishment of the Barwala unit represents a major milestone in Agrivet’s long-term strategy to decentralize advanced testing facilities, making high-tier veterinary diagnostics more accessible to critical livestock clusters across India. By bridging the gap between field challenges and laboratory analytics, Agrivet aims to support local farmers in minimizing feed wastage, managing pathogen loads effectively, and improving overall feed conversion ratios (FCR). The facility will serve as a core technical resource center for the region’s rapidly growing poultry ecosystem.
