High Commission of Canada in Bangladesh, in collaboration with the Feed Industries Association of Bangladesh (FIAB) and with support from Pulse Canada and the Canola Council of Canada, hosted a seminar titled \u201cFeeding the Future: Canadian Canola Meal and Pulses for High-Performance Animal Diets.\u201d<\/p>\n
The seminar brought together more than 50 participants from Bangladeshi feed mills, research organizations, and commodity import companies to explore the benefits of incorporating Canadian canola meal and pulses into animal feed, said a press release.<\/p>\n
The program featured expert presentations by Dr. Charles Qin, Canola Meal Representative in Asia, Canola Council of Canada; Dr. Lesley W.J. Nernberg, Nutrition and Business Development Consultant, Lighthouse Agri-Solutions Co., Ltd. (representing Pulse Canada); and Yatin Pawa, Marketing Director, Richardson International.<\/p>\n
The session also featured a presentation by Shamsul Arefin Khaled, Director of Nourish Poultry and Hatchery and President of the World Poultry Science Association (Bangladesh Branch), who shared insights on recent developments in Bangladesh\u2019s livestock and feed industries.<\/p>\n
Speakers highlighted the nutritional, economic, and sustainability advantages of Canadian feed ingredients. Canadian pulses, notably yellow peas, were noted as valuable sources of protein and energy with proven inclusion rates in poultry diets and expanding applications in aquaculture. Canola meal was presented as a high-quality protein ingredient with a strong amino acid profile and demonstrated performance benefits across livestock and aquaculture species.<\/p>\n
Discussions also emphasized the importance of diversifying feed inputs to manage cost pressures and strengthen supply resilience, particularly as demand for animal protein continues to grow in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
The seminar emphasized Canada\u2019s role as a reliable supplier of safe, high-quality, and sustainably produced agricultural products, backed by robust production systems and stringent quality standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday\u2019s session underscores Canada\u2019s commitment to supporting Bangladesh\u2019s rapidly growing feed and livestock industries,\u201d said Debra Boyce, Senior Trade Commissioner, High Commission of Canada. \u201cCanadian agricultural commodities offer reliability, strong nutritional value, and opportunities for deeper collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants engaged actively with presenters and expressed interest in further technical collaboration, feed trials, and commercial partnerships with Canadian suppliers.<\/p>\n
The High Commission of Canada looks forward to continued engagement with Bangladesh\u2019s feed industry to support innovation, sustainability, and food security.<\/p>\n
