Poultry Research and Training Center (PRTC) was established in 2008 with a clear vision to advance research and trade facilitation via targeted training, diagnostic services, & public-private collaboration.
PRTC operates through two key divisions:
1. Animal Disease Diagnosis Laboratory (ADDL) – specializing in disease diagnosis and research.
2. Feed Analysis and Food Safety Laboratory (FAFSL) – focusing on livestock feed analysis and contaminant detection to meet safety standards.
Our core mission is trade facilitation—supporting safe and efficient import processes through high-quality laboratory testing.
In addition, we conduct advanced research, offer diagnostic services, and organize training programs for field veterinarians, farmers, postgraduate students, and other stakeholders in the livestock sector.
PRTC’s has great role in agriculture and trade. PRTC ensures the safety and quality of livestock and human food by testing nutritional content and hazardous substances, supporting customs clearance and trade compliance. The significant portion of the livestock feed ingredients tested at PRTC—such as soybean meal, corn, and microbial protein—are imported from the United States.
Additionally, we support sector growth through farmer training and capacity-building for veterinarians.
Students from any discipline within biological sciences can do internships here. In addition, Research at the MS and PhD levels is also conducted in PRTC.
From 2008 to 2024, PRTC conducted over 79,000 lab tests—mainly for trade facilitation—including 46,000 antimicrobial residue tests, 23,000 livestock feed analyses, and 10,000 porcine/bovine screenings. Simultaneously, it advanced Bangladesh’s agriculture sector through extensive capacity-building training for farmers, veterinarians, and traders. This dual role underscores PRTC’s impact on public health and agricultural development.
