What Polimed İlaç ve Tavukçuluk does

Polimed İlaç ve Tavukçuluk is a privately held Turkish animal health company headquartered in Kartal, Istanbul, founded in 1995 and registered as Polimed İlaç ve Tav. Tic.ve San. Ltd. Şti. The company operates across three livestock verticals — poultry, ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats), and aquaculture (fish and shrimp) — supplying feed additives, custom-formulated premixes, enzymes, toxin binders, hygiene products, and growth/yield enhancers. Its proprietary product line includes branded items such as Polimed Süt Mix (milk yield enhancer), Viandi Besimix (fattening premix), Poliminvit (vitamin/mineral mixes), Drymin (dry-period premix), Polimed Lactopol (calf starter feed), and the Liptocitro aquaculture series. Manufacturing is augmented by custom premix formulation under Polimed Özel Üretimler, developed with academic consultant support.

In parallel, Polimed functions as a multi-brand distributor of veterinary diagnostic kits and laboratory equipment in Turkey. It holds the authorized Turkish distributorship for BioChek (ELISA and PCR test kits for poultry and ruminant diseases) and also distributes diagnostic kits from Bio-X, Ingenasa, Thermofisher, Lillidale, Megacor, and APHA, covering Avian Influenza, Newcastle Disease, Mycoplasma, Salmonella, BVDV, Brucellosis, FMD, and African Horse Sickness, among others. Laboratory equipment offerings include Human/HumaPette micropipettes, HumaScope microscopes, HuMax centrifuges and mixers, Thermofisher KingFisher Flex and 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR systems, and Robonik/Biotek ELISA analyzers.

Commercially, Polimed runs a sales-led, direct-to-customer model — field sales representatives conduct on-farm visits to livestock producers and veterinarians, supported by technical support teams and inside sales via phone and email. The company is described as a market leader in numerous animal health products within Turkey, leveraging 30+ years of operating history. In January 2026, Polimed completed its first full-truck export to Macedonia and articulated plans to expand into Balkan and broader European markets, marking its initial move beyond the domestic Turkish market. The company has no disclosed external funding, ownership changes, or headcount data in the source material.
