VIV Health and Nutrition Asia 2026, featuring the animal feed and health industry, takes place on March 10–12, 2026, at BITEC in Bangkok, Thailand. Co-located with Victam Asia 2026 and GRAPAS Asia, the event focuses on sustainable animal health, nutrition, and feed production, gathering 300+ exhibitors and 9,000+ industry professionals.
The National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC), National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) will organise the following:
Event: Sustainable Shrimp Production Through Efficient and Circular Practices
Date and Time: 11 March 2026 | 15:00 – 16:35 hrs.
Venue: MR 219, BITEC, Bangkok
Sustainable shrimp production uses circular economy principles by minimising waste and maximising resource efficiency through technologies like Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), converting waste into fertiliser to grow ingredients for alternative, sustainable aquafeeds supported by smart tech (AI/IoT) for precise management and automated systems for feeding and health checks. Automated feeding systems deliver the exact amount of feed required, minimizing waste and improving feed conversion ratios, while automated health monitoring systems ensure early detection and prevention of disease outbreaks. Selective breeding and genomic technologies enhance the resilience and efficiency of shrimp strains. Key focus includes developing shrimp with disease resistance which reduces the need for antibiotics and minimizes the environmental footprint. These integrated approaches ensure a more environmentally sound and economically viable shrimp farming industry with long-term viability.
