Bangladesh's poultry producers should focus on reducing their carbon footprint to address the challenges posed by climate change, industry analysts said yesterday.

At the 13th International Poultry Seminar 2025, organised by the Bangladesh branch of the World's Poultry Science Association (WPSA-BB), experts emphasised the need to prioritise recycling.

Greater importance should be given to improving waste management in poultry farms, and authorities should not grant registration to any farm that lacks a waste management system, according to a press release by the organiser.

Moshiur Rahaman, president of the Bangladesh branch of WPSA, stressed the importance of addressing nutritional deficiencies in the country at the two-day event, which was themed "Sustainable Poultry for Emerging Bangladesh."

"We want to see Bangladesh free from malnutrition," he said at the opening of the event at the Radisson Blu Water Garden Hotel in Dhaka.

From farm to plate, the entire poultry value chain should be brought under proper management, said WPSA-BB Secretary Biplab Kumar Pramanik.

"We should also consider the issues faced by poultry farmers. They are the majority," he said.
