I would like to share our latest work. we have identified Haemonchus contortus was the most prevalent species found in almost all alpacas herds in significant proportions. The identification of H. contortus in other livestock species is unusual in the northern UK, implying that alpacas may be suitable hosts and potential reservoirs for infection in other hosts. https://lnkd.in/eBTBFpxk

Alhamdulillah, I am thrilled to share that our research team has published another paper entitled "Molecular screening and genetic diversity of tick-borne pathogens associated with dogs and livestock ticks in Egypt" in the prestigious PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases journal. Our study provides critical insights that can inform public health and veterinary policies in Egypt and the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The findings emphasize the pressing need to develop effective tick and TBP management strategies to safeguard both human and animal health.

A collaborative study by Texas A&M Department of Entomology and the USDA explores genetic tools for controlling cattle fever ticks, vectors of bovine babesiosis. Led by Jason Tidwell, the research identifies genetic markers for sex determination in Rhipicephalus microplus, paving the way for innovative pest control methods. This foundational work could lead to genetic manipulation strategies, similar to those used for mosquito control, offering a novel approach amid rising acaricide resistance. The study emphasizes the potential for sustainable solutions in tick eradication, crucial for protecting U.S. livestock and addressing tick-borne diseases.

⁣ZOONOSIS . . . the ability of a microbe to jump from an animal host to a human one, of which the Covid19 pandemic is a salient example. The Food & Agriculture arm of the United Nations made this statement back in 2013:⠀ ⠀ “Livestock health is the weakest link in our global health chain.”⠀ ⠀ People love CHEAP MEAT. The average American eats around 200 lbs. a year, more than half a pound a day. And cheap meat comes from industrial livestock operations, where animals are kept in despicable, overcrowded, inhumane and unsanitary conditions. Because farmed animals are bred for certain traits and are often genetically identical, a rogue microbe does not encounter resistance based on genetic variance, but can spread to the entire population.⠀ ⠀ And when that microbe (in this case a virus) is able to infect a human host, we have no immunity to that organism – bingo – WORLD PANDEMIC! On our crowded planet, this will remain the new normal until we close down industrial livestock operations. If you want to be part of the solution, think about what you’re supporting with your consumer dollar!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #Zoonosis #OneHealth #PandemicPrevention #LivestockHealth #IndustrialFarming #CheapMeatCost #AnimalWelfare #GlobalHealth #EndFactoryFarming #SustainableFood #EcoHealth #PreventPandemics #ConsumerChoice #LivestockImpact #HealthierPlanet #SafeFoodSystems #ChooseWisely #FoodRevolution #AgricultureReform #ThinkBeforeYouEat⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Genomic selection is a breeding strategy that utilizes genomic information to predict the genetic merit of individuals and select breeding candidates based on their DNA profiles. In poultry, genomic selection involves the use of high-throughput genotyping technologies and sophisticated statistical models to estimate the genetic value of birds for various traits of interest. Here's how genomic selection takes place in poultry: #paulvet #paulvethealthcarepvtltd #veterinarycare #veterinarysurgeons #veterinaryclinic #poultryfeed #poultryproduction #poultryhealth #poultrydiseases #poultrynutrition #veterinarydoctor #poultryscience

🌱 Another #FactFriday from Bioproton! Did you know? Mycotoxins present in animal feeds can severely impede growth, reproductive functions, and immune responses in livestock. Opting for an additive comprising premium mineral binders, biological adsorbents like MOS (Mannan Oligosaccharides), and microbial deactivation agents offers an efficient strategy for physically binding mycotoxins, modulating the immune system, and deactivating toxins.
