MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521103471 A) filed by Dr. Pradip Linge; and Dr. Nikita N Deshmukh, Pune, Maharashtra, on Oct. 27, for 'process for preparing stable metformin-based formulations for poultry to enhance reproductive performance and egg production.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Pradip Linge; and Dr. Nikita N Deshmukh.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a process (100) for improving reproductive performance in broiler breeder hens. The process (100) involves mixing (102) Metformin hydrochloride with carriers, diluents, or excipients to form a homogenous blend, optionally co-formulated (104) with synergistic agents, and processing (106) the blend into forms suitable for oral administration, including feed premixes, water-soluble concentrates, or controlled-release formulations. Technique (108) like the use of a twin-shell blender is applied to ensure thorough mixing and uniform distribution of the final product (110) and enhance solubility, stability, and bioavailability. The invention provides a scalable and cost-effective strategy to maintain uniform distribution of Metformin in feed or water, thereby supporting improved egg production, ovarian follicular development, laying persistency, and overall reproductive efficiency in broiler breeder flocks."
