Dalan Animal Health, Inc.

Dalan's CEO, Annette Kleiser, recently attended the inaugural Shrimp Master Class in Miami, FL. We were thrilled to participate in this immersive event as Dalan explores its expansion into aquaculture. The master class offered insights into the latest advancements and challenges in the shrimp industry through engaging lectures and demonstrations by industry leaders. As part of the experience, Annette and other attendees toured Sun Shrimp® Farms, gaining a fascinating glimpse into the future of shrimp production. A huge thank you to Gabriel Luna, the organizers, and all the speakers for a memorable and inspiring event! #Shrimpmasterclass

The recent hurricanes have had a devastating and lasting impact on many Southern communities, including the beekeeping community. The storms destroyed not only hives but also essential sources of nutrition for bees. Today, dedicated volunteers from Mann Lake Bee & Ag Supply and other industry organizations came together to provide relief, loading donated syrup, pollen patties, and raw sugar to support affected beekeepers. We are proud to take part in the effort, helping to support hardworking beekeepers and vital pollinators.

Get an early look at a brand-new article from American Bee Journal, one of the top trade journals in beekeeping, ahead of its wide release in November! The author dives into our recent experimental data on DWV in honeybees and shares our hypothesis on why we’re seeing such positive results. This article is a great independent take on some promising research in honeybee health. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gtpSaGSU #honeybeeresearch #honeybeehealth #beekeeping

I’m pleased to have been invited to speak on #pollinatorhealth at the #worldOneHealthCongress in Cape Town. Sharing the work of #Dalan to improve honeybee health through vaccination: reducing the need for antibiotics, supporting #biodiversity and #foodsecurity while reducing potential #antimicrobialresistance (#AMR). Thanks to the organizers for driving this growing and diverse movement of #OneHealth that brings together medical, veterinary and environmental experts, social scientists and policymakers, with strong endorsement of the Quadripatrite: #WHO, #FAO, #WOAH and #UNEP to tackle some of our most pressing health issues with “joined-up thinking”!

We are excited to share new experimental data on our bacterial vaccine's potential to significantly reduce Deformed Wing Virus variant B (DWV-B) in honeybees. In this experimental study, we found that AFB-vaccinated hives showed 83% average reduction in the levels of DWV-B quantities compared to controls, independent of mite load. "To our knowledge, this is the first use of activating the immune system using a dead bacterium to provide protection against a virus in an invertebrate. These results open exciting new possibilities for combating viral threats in honeybee populations, which have few methods for control available." said Dr. Annette Kleiser, CEO and co-founder of Dalan Animal Health.
