Ecolex Animal Nutrition brought together distribution partners, consultants, and collaborators at its “Partnering for Progress: South Asia” workshop in Bangkok. The event focused on collaboration models, technical exchange, and integrated solutions for animal agriculture.
Ecolex Animal Nutrition’s “Partnering for Progress: South Asia” workshop, held in Bangkok on 19–20 January 2026, brought together distribution partners from across the region, along with consultants and collaborators active in animal agriculture. The event focused on partnership models, technical exchange, and approaches to sustainable innovation in the sector.
Referencing the importance of collaboration in addressing complex challenges, Ecolex outlined its intention to expand its role beyond the supply of feed additives toward a broader partnership-based approach. The company highlighted cross-sector cooperation as a key element in developing integrated solutions for animal agriculture.
“Ecolex recognizes it cannot address every animal health component of One Health alone. By teaming with specialized leaders in the critical One Health areas of farm management and biosecurity and hygiene, we seek to create integrated, real-world solutions that enhance farm efficiency, reduce antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and promote sustainable practices. We are proud to foster these vital partnerships that advance the livestock sector,” said Edward Manchester, Global Commercial Director at Ecolex.
“Ecolex looks forward to formalizing these strategic partnerships in the near future that will offer not just products, but solutions, including training programs and testing services,” noted Manchester. “We aim to deliver comprehensive solutions, creating real long-term value for our distribution partners and their customers across South Asia and beyond.”
ECOLEX INNOVATIONS
During a dedicated product-focused session, Ecolex introduced several adjacent feed additive technologies currently positioned within its portfolio:
AcidMax Pro — a proprietary blend of organic acids incorporating Ecolex Artificial Micelle Technology™, designed to support gut health and performance
PuraTox Pro — a bentonite- and proprietary humate-based binding system combined with mycotoxin-degrading enzymes
EnzaMax Pro — a multi-enzyme formulation utilizing Ecolex’s emulsification technology
FytaMax Pro — an intrinsically thermostable 6-phytase
Ecolex representatives acknowledged the competitive nature of the feed additive market and emphasized product differentiation as a strategic focus. As an example, AcidMax Pro was presented as a formulation combining formic and propionic acids with emulsified alpha-monolaurin. According to the company, this approach leverages proprietary emulsification techniques intended to enhance biological activity compared to glycerol monolaurin. The formulation also uses a small particle size silica carrier, which Ecolex states is designed to improve absorption capacity and mixing uniformity relative to vermiculite-based carriers.
INSIGHTS AND NETWORKING
In addition to technical sessions, the workshop included networking activities aimed at strengthening relationships among distribution partners and collaborators. According to Ecolex, participant feedback highlighted the value of combining technical discussions with informal exchanges, supporting knowledge sharing and collaboration within the regional network.
“The energy and engagement from workshop attendees underscored our shared goal—building a healthier, more sustainable future for animal agriculture in South Asia. Participants praised the event’s blend of professional insights and relaxed networking. The informal moments of connection were just as valuable as the technical sessions, building trust and collaboration among our distribution partners,” concluded Manchester.
