In conversation with Mihail Boyadjiev of BOBAL-Boyadjiev Ltd.
Behind Halamid® is a network of dedicated distributors serving professionals in more than 60 countries. In this interview, Mihail Boyadjiev introduces Bulgarian distributor BOBAL-Boyadjiev Ltd., explains where Halamid® is already making a difference and shares his perspective on the biosecurity priorities shaping the country’s animal-production sector.
BOBAL: more than 30 years of technical and commercial expertise
Mihail Boyadjiev: “BOBAL-Boyadjiev Ltd. is a Bulgarian company established in 1990. We specialise in supplying ingredients, additives, technological solutions and know-how to the food, feed and pharmaceutical industries. For more than 30 years, we have partnered with leading international manufacturers while supporting local and regional producers in developing innovative, sustainable and high-quality products.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together food technologists, veterinarians, culinary experts and commercial professionals. Our headquarters and main warehouse are in Sofia, with commercial offices and warehouses in Varna, Stara Zagora, Ruse and Shumen. Together with our own transport fleet, this structure enables us to provide efficient logistics, technical support and responsive service across Bulgaria.”
Mihail Boyadjiev continues: “Our aim is to deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions that contribute to safer, more convenient and more sustainable products for end consumers. Through long-term partnerships, technical expertise and continuous innovation, we seek to create added value for our customers and support the development of Bulgarian industry.”
Where Halamid® is used today – and where BOBAL sees potential
Mihail Boyadjiev: “Our main Halamid® customers today are fish farmers. Looking ahead, our goal is to strengthen the product’s position in poultry and other livestock sectors as well.”
This focus reflects BOBAL’s ambition to bring reliable disinfection practices to a broader range of animal-production environments, while adapting its technical support to local market needs.
Why Halamid® stands out
Mihail Boyadjiev: “Halamid® offers several important advantages for professional biosecurity programmes:”
- Broad-spectrum efficacy. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores.
- Stronger biosecurity. It helps reinforce farm hygiene programmes and supports compliance with veterinary and food-safety standards.
- Reduced disease-related losses. By supporting infection-prevention strategies, it can help limit production losses associated with disease outbreaks.
For BOBAL, this combination makes Halamid® a practical option for producers seeking a reliable disinfection solution within consistent, day-to-day hygiene protocols.
Responding to the challenges facing Bulgarian farmers
Mihail Boyadjiev: “Bulgarian farmers are facing a combination of economic, environmental and biosecurity challenges. More frequent droughts, heat waves, extreme weather events and water scarcity are affecting crop yields and livestock productivity. At the same time, producers face increased disease pressure, rising input costs, labour shortages and stricter sustainability and food-safety requirements.
Outbreaks of African swine fever, avian influenza and other animal diseases have underlined the importance of effective biosecurity across the agricultural sector. Halamid® supports antibacterial and antiviral disinfection programmes designed to reduce the risk of disease transmission in livestock and poultry operations and, in turn, support productivity.”
The future: modernisation, prevention and smarter farming
Mihail Boyadjiev: “We expect the Bulgarian agricultural sector to continue modernising and aligning with European standards. Farmers and livestock producers are increasingly investing in technologies that improve productivity, sustainability, animal welfare and food safety. As farms become larger and more integrated, effective biosecurity will become even more important.”
He insists: “One of the key trends we foresee is a growing focus on disease prevention rather than disease control. The economic impact of biosecurity failures is encouraging livestock and poultry producers to strengthen hygiene protocols and invest in reliable disinfection solutions as part of their daily operations.” Finally, Mihail Boyadjiev concludes: “We also anticipate increasing regulatory requirements related to food safety, environmental protection and antimicrobial resistance. This will drive demand for effective and sustainable hygiene solutions that reduce disease risks while supporting responsible farming practices.”
Meet BOBAL at Smart Poultry & Pig World 2026
BOBAL will attend Smart Poultry & Pig World 2026 on 9-10 September 2026 at the Inter Expo Center in Sofia. Dedicated to the digitalisation and automation of modern livestock farming, the exhibition will bring together producers, technology providers and industry experts.
Mihail Boyadjiev is proud to announce: “We plan to present possible Halamid® applications and the product’s advantages across different industries, supported by Axcentive’s expertise and good practices in the field. We look forward to discussing current industry challenges and demonstrating how reliable disinfection can complement smart-farming technologies to create more efficient, resilient and sustainable livestock-production systems.”
One product, a global network, local expertise
BOBAL’s experience shows how Halamid® distributors combine proven disinfection principles with local knowledge, reliable logistics and close technical support.
