Excited to share my latest blog! On the field trial results of piglets on post-weaning Diarrhea for AVANT - Alternatives to Veterinary ANTimicrobials. AVANT is a #Horizon2020 project dedicated to substituting #antibiotics in #livestock. The focus is on innovative medicines targeting pathogens or the pig's immune response, alongside feeding strategies for disease prevention. The project's communication is expertly led by RTDS Group. Check out the full blog for an in-depth look at the findings and the potential impact on the industry.

The FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) takes a significant step by revoking a nearly three-decade-old regulatory policy, potentially unlocking innovation in the U.S. animal food market. In collaboration with Congress, the FDA is actively seeking new legislative authority to establish a clear regulatory pathway for substances impacting animal gut functions, signaling a commitment to modernize and enhance the industry. This decision aims to streamline the review process for feed additives, fostering advancements in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture production, while also addressing food safety, environmental sustainability, and animal well-being.

Given their complex interactions, the toxicity of combinations of mycotoxins cannot merely be predicted based on their individual toxicities. Mycotoxin risk assessments have to consider that even low levels of mycotoxin combinations can harm animal productivity, health, and welfare. How does contamination with multiple mycotoxins occur in animal feed? Find out more: https://bit.ly/3sz8h2n #mycotoxins #endotoxins #animalhealth #animalnutrition #bacteria #amr

Choosing the right animal feed is crucial for your livestock's health, growth, and productivity. Here at Shamba Hub Ltd., we understand the importance of optimizing your farm's performance through proper nutrition. Here's a guide to help you select the best feed for your animals: 1. Animal Needs: Consider the age, breed, and production stage of your animals. Their nutritional requirements differ throughout their life cycle. Lactating cows need different feed than growing calves. 2. Feed Quality: Look for feeds with high-quality ingredients that provide a balanced source of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals. Beware of fillers and low-quality ingredients that offer minimal nutritional value. 3. Read the Label: Understand the feed's guaranteed analysis, which details the minimum percentages of protein, fat, fiber, and ash content. Look for medicated feeds only if necessary and under veterinary guidance. 4. Consider Your Budget: While cost is important, don't prioritize cheap feed over quality. Low-quality feed can lead to health problems and decreased productivity, ultimately costing you more in the long run. 5. Consult an Expert: Shamba Hub Ltd. offers consultation services to help you create a customized feeding plan based on your specific animals and farming goals. A veterinarian or animal nutritionist can also provide valuable advice. #Shambahublimited #Livestockmanagement #Animalnutrition #Agtech

🤔 Did you know that animal agriculture routinely uses #antibiotics to increase profits by making animals grow faster while also helping them survive crowded and unsanitary conditions? 💊 Medically important antibiotics are increasingly going to #animals we treat as food instead of people. In 2017, the #meatindustry purchased 62% of the US supply and by 2020, it rose to 69%. 💊 The World Health Organization calls antibiotic resistance “one of the biggest threats to #globalhealth, food security, and development today.” 💊 In 2022, over 5 million kilograms of antibiotics were used in #pigs and #cows alone. Antibiotics in pig production rose sharply by 31% from 2017 to 2022. We need regulation because it will be a cold day in hell when the animal ag industry changes voluntarily. Profits will always be prioritized over human #health. #hungryplanetfoods #foodsystemtransformation #plantbasedmeats

Understanding #Mastitis: A Key Challenge in Dairy Farming 🐄 Mastitis is among the most common and costly diseases affecting dairy cattle worldwide. It’s not just a health issue for the cow—it directly impacts milk production, quality, and the overall profitability of the farm. What is Mastitis❓ Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder tissue, typically caused by bacterial infections. It leads to swelling, pain, and a reduction in milk yield. The presence of high somatic cell counts (SCC) in the milk is a clear indicator of this condition. Why Should We Care❓ #Economic Impact: Mastitis can cause significant financial losses due to reduced milk yield, discarded milk, and increased veterinary costs. #Animal Welfare: Cows suffering from mastitis experience pain and discomfort, making managing and preventing the condition essential. Milk Quality: High SCC levels can lead to poor milk quality, affecting the farmer’s income and consumer trust. #Prevention & Management Tips: ⏩Maintain strict cleanliness during milking and ensure proper sanitation of equipment. ⏩Regularly monitor cows for signs of mastitis and conduct frequent SCC testing. ⏩ Provide a #balanced diet with adequate vitamins and minerals to boost the immune system. ⏩Use proper milking techniques to reduce the risk of udder injuries that can lead to infection. ⏩ Work closely with a veterinarian to develop an effective mastitis control program. ⏩Prevention is better than cure. By focusing on proactive measures, we can improve animal health, enhance milk quality, and protect the profitability of dairy farms. #DairyFarming #AnimalHealth #VeterinaryCare #Mastitis #MilkQuality #DairyIndustry #SustainableFarming #followers

Choosing the right supplier for animal nutrition drives your success. When selecting Psyllium Husks, consider these key factors: 🌾 Ethics and Purity: Ensure psyllium husks are from a trusted origin, bearing social responsibility, being free of contaminants and meeting microbiological standards for safe feed. 🌾 Physical Properties: Quality indicators like color, odor, texture, and particle size indicate the quality and freshness of psyllium husks, which directly impacting acceptance and mixing behavior in feed formulations. 🌾 Water Absorption: The swelling index measures the ability of psyllium husks to absorb and retain water, increasing in volume. A higher swelling index indicates better water-binding capacity, which can be promoting for digestive health in animals, or maintaining adequate moisture levels in animal diets. 🌾 Moisture: Low moisture content ensures stability, longer shelf life, and reduces microbial risk during storage and transportation. 🌾 Contaminant-Free: Compliance with heavy metal and pesticide residue regulations is essential for animal health and regulatory standards. We understand these demanding quality parameters and handle stringent safety measures, spanning from India to Europe, sourcing suitable psyllium husks as feed materials for you.

On July 2, 2024, the Autorité de la concurrence in France published its first informal guidance on sustainability, following a request from two professional organizations in the animal nutrition sector. The guidance pertains to a draft guide for calculating the environmental footprint of products. Key Points: 1. Request Background: Two professional organizations sought informal guidance on a draft guide for a standardized methodology to calculate the carbon footprint of compound feed for livestock. 2. General Rapporteur's Findings: The request was deemed admissible, and the draft guide could be considered a standardization agreement under EU Commission guidelines, including the following - - Limit Information Exchange: Exchanges of sensitive information between competitors should be limited. - Encourage Innovation: Companies should be able to exceed the guide's recommendations. - Scientific Soundness: Methodology and data must be scientifically sound. - Third-Party Verification: Ensures the project's sustainability objectives are genuinely pursued. Impact: This guidance ensures that sustainability initiatives in the animal nutrition sector align with competition rules, promoting transparency and encouraging companies to innovate beyond standardized methodologies. Action Required: Stakeholders in the animal nutrition sector should review the draft guide and ensure compliance with the outlined principles. The Autorité will continue to monitor the implementation to ensure no anti-competitive practices arise.
