New Anthoney’s Farms Partners with University for Antibiotic-Free Verification 📈

• New Anthoney’s Farms Ltd has signed a landmark 5-year MoU with the University of Peradeniya to establish independent third-party testing for its poultry production. • This makes New Anthoney's the first and only poultry producer in Sri Lanka to submit its entire production cycle to scientific verification by an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited university laboratory. • The partnership aims to provide laboratory-proven evidence of the company’s "100% antibiotic-free" claims, addressing global concerns over Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which is projected to cause US$ 100 Tn in economic losses by 2050. • Key operational highlights: Production Standards: Uses probiotics, essential oils, and superior biosecurity instead of antibiotics (since 2018). Sustainability: First in South Asia to adopt the Sustainable U.S. Soy label; features 100% compostable packaging via its HarithaHari brand. Compliance: Holds FSSC 22000 and ISO 14064-1:2018 greenhouse gas verification. • While the transition to antibiotic-free farming involves higher production costs and more rigorous health management, the move strengthens consumer trust and positions Sri Lanka’s livestock sector toward higher international safety standards.
