On October 7–8, 2026, Ukraine, Lviv, will host the established "DAIRY FARMING INDUSTRY" International Practical Forum, held this year under the theme "Challenges. Risks. Changes. Solutions." The event will bring together dairy farm owners and managers, production technologists, veterinarians, and industry experts to discuss current challenges in dairy farming and practical ways to improve production efficiency. The forum is organised by the editorial team of *The Ukrainian Farmer* magazine.
Forum participants will focus on the economic resilience of dairy farms, adaptation to European regulatory requirements, herd health and productivity, reproduction, nutrition, disease prevention, and ensuring epizootic safety. The organisers are placing special emphasis on modern research into cow health and practical solutions for maintaining herd productivity under high production stress.
Participation of BIOTESTLAB
Daryna Chernai, a specialist from the Chemical-Pharmaceutical Product Development Department at BIOTESTLAB, will join the forum's professional program. Her presentation is titled "Immune and Metabolic Support for Cows During Critical Periods of Reproduction and Lactation" (October 7, 15:50–16:15).
The transition period, calving, the onset of lactation, and reproduction place significant physiological and metabolic stress on the cow's body. At this time, supporting natural resistance and normal metabolic processes, as well as integrating preventive measures into herd management in a timely manner, become particularly important.
In this context, solutions that support the cow's adaptive capabilities are of particular interest. One such solution in the BIOTESTLAB portfolio is STIMULUS — a comprehensive product based on sodium nucleinate and over 200 biologically active substances. Its composition includes amino acids, vitamins and vitamin-like substances, minerals, and other biologically active compounds.
In recommended protocols for cattle, STIMULUS is used to boost immune response to vaccination, support cows during lactation and reproduction, manage stress, and provide care before and after calving.
