The recently held half-day seminar by the World Egg Organisation (WEO) in Hyderabad, India, was a significant event that gathered industry leaders to deliberate on global market trends, avian influenza control, and feed strategies. This seminar highlighted the organization’s dedication to supporting the burgeoning egg sector in India.

The WEO India Seminar 2025 attracted a robust audience comprising professionals from various facets of the egg value chain. Expert presentations delved into crucial challenges and opportunities facing both the global and Indian egg industries. The sessions covered essential topics such as the global outlook for the egg market, advancements in controlling highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), and feed strategies tailored for modern laying hens.

The event boasted a lineup of speakers with diverse expertise drawn from the international poultry sector. Notable figures like Vitor Arantes from Hy-Line International, Uday Singh Bayas representing IPEMA and Poultry India, and Nan-Dirk Mulder from Rabobank shared their insights alongside WEO representatives Dr. Olivier Espeisse and Julian Madeley. The sessions were moderated by Suresh Chitturi of Srinivasa Farms.

Following the informative presentations, attendees engaged in discussions that continued during a networking reception and buffet dinner. Such interactions foster knowledge sharing and relationship building among professionals, laying the groundwork for industry advancements.

The WEO’s active involvement in the Indian poultry sector was duly recognized at the Poultry India event, where Melanie Ridgewell and Julian Madeley received accolades for their contributions to the industry. India’s increasing protein consumption and expanding layer sector position it as a vital growth market for the global egg industry. Events like the WEO India Seminar serve as a platform for exchanging knowledge between international experts and local industry professionals, addressing collective challenges like disease control and production efficiency.

The seminar in Hyderabad aligns with broader initiatives by international organizations to forge stronger ties with emerging poultry markets, leveraging local expertise in tandem with global insights to promote sustainable industry growth. The success and positive reception of such events underscore the value of collaboration and knowledge sharing in nurturing the egg sector’s development in India and beyond.
