We are proud to host the International Dairy Calf to Beef Conference in partnership with Teagasc and BSAS - British Society of Animal Science, which kicked off today in Wexford. The event offers invaluable insights into the future of sustainable practices in the dairy and beef sectors. Key topics included the latest research on producing beef from dairy herds, strategies for developing profitable and sustainable dairy-beef systems and the integration of the dairy-to-beef supply chain. #TeamABP #Teagasc #BSAS #dairytobeef

The SUSTAINEXT project was present at EuroTier, the world's leading trade fair for professional animal production and livestock management, which took place from 12 to 15 November in #Hannover (Germany). In this framework, Maxime Vallot, Global Feed Division Manager of Natac (BME: NAT) (our project coordinator) gave an interview to nutriNews Revista in which he presented the main innovations proposed by the project, both for the new bio-based value chains that will be deployed in #Extremadura, and for its innovative concept of dynamic and analytical biorefinery (#DYANA).  🎦 Watch the complete interview: https://lnkd.in/d8QcC6fq

The 2023 National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB) semen sales report is out and dairy gender-sorted semen now leads the way among semen sales. Dairy gender-sorted semen topped the sales chart at 8.4 million units, followed by Beef on Dairy at 7.9 million units and conventional dairy semen was third at 7 million units sold. Forward thinking farmers are driving the trends of the dairy landscape and know that adapting to technology developments is the key to success. #STgenetics #Ultraplus #GenderSortedSemen #TechnologyReigns #DairyTrends #Vision+ #DairyTech

Multiple learnings, an interesting exchange of information, and the commitment of the various actors to continue working in the future in a coordinated and collaborative manner were some of the results of the workshop “Reviewing the Health Scenario of Salmon Farming in the Magallanes Region”, where we had active participation as Elanco Animal Health.   Organized by the School of Engineering Sciences of the Universidad de Magallanes (UMAG), the southernmost in the world, and sponsored by the Asociación de Salmonicultores de Magallanes A.G., the activity was held on May 16 in Punta Arenas, Chile.   The initiative arose last year from a series of talks and workshops that addressed the problems caused by sea lice in the Magellan salmon farming industry, and their management strategies. Based on the current situation of caligidosis in the area and the health condition of the salmon farming industry, UMAG organized this second meeting, where advances on the matter were presented after carrying out joint activities with several experts on Caligus and identifying the challenges to achieve effective and environmentally sustainable strategies in the management of this pathology.   In this second workshop, three interesting subjects were discussed: “Genetic patterns of Caligus in sites of the Magallanes region and their implications in the management of caligidosis”, by Dr. María Teresa González; “Analysis of embryonic development as a tool for evaluating the spread of Caligus: An example of the situation in Magallanes”, a talk given by Dackma Ballini; and closing with “A look at the health status of salmon farming in Magallanes”, an interesting presentation by Juan Pablo López, Aqua Head of Technical Services at Elanco. The activity concluded with a discussion on “Collaboration and new advances in research” led by Dr. Gladys Asencio.   Don't forget to follow us for more exciting updates and insights from the Aquaculture Industry! 👈🏻   #aquaculture #science #research #caligus #salmon
