Ventri Biologicals

Empowering Poultry with Innovative Biologics

VENTRI BIOLOGICALS (VACCINE DIVISION OF VENKATESHWARA HATCHERIES Pvt. Ltd.)

Background:

During 1970’s, when VH group started its poultry breeding operations in India, no commercial poultry vaccine were manufactured in country. VH has to depend on vaccine import from developed countries for protecting these valuable breeding stocks from disease outbreak. Dr. B.V. Rao recognised the importance of timely availability of quality vaccines for successful breeding operations, decided to setup a vaccine manufacturing facility in Pune.

Ventri Biologicals is the first commercial poultry vaccine manufacturer in India established in 1980 on technical collaboration with TriBio Inc, USA.

Infrastructure:

The first facility was developed at Village Malkhed, Pune-Panshet Road in the year 1980. It was a modest beginning with 5 live vaccines in 1980. Over the years, with extensive growth of poultry industry in India leading to emergence and re-emergence of diseases in poultry, Ventri Biologicals has always stood at forefront in protecting poultry health in India.

In order to meet the increasing vaccine demand and new regulatory requirements; a new manufacturing facility was created at International Biotech Park Hinjewadi, Pune in the year 2006. The facility at Hinjewadi is an expansion of Malkhed facility for production of poultry vaccine, diluents and diagnostic antigen.

Considering the importance of continuous research and development in vaccine industry an independent Vaccine Research and Development Center (VRDC) Unit was established at village Kondapuri, Pune in 2011. The future is bright for poultry industry as Ventri Biologicals has a state-of-art tools for molecular testing for emerging pathogens, and availability of molecular diagnostic tests as point-of-care testing and genome databank for all the poultry viruses/bacteria. The technologies developed would result in timely, accurate, and inexpensive diagnosis and effective treatment of these infectious diseases.
