The upcoming All About Feed webinar on Antibiotic Reduction will take place at 15.00 CET on Thursday 16 December.
Join this live webinar, registration is free! Antibiotic reduction is a major topic in the livestock sector and is also an important and serious issue when it comes to human health, due to the existing problem of increased antibiotic resistance and making sure that medicines remain effective in human health.
This webinar will explore the challenges around antibiotic reduction as well as opportunities to move away from antibiotic use in the livestock sector. Livestock disease management and the use of antibiotics has come under the spotlight over the last years and the pressure is on to reduce antibiotics in livestock production and in doing so, it has a direct impact on the human health aspect. But, how do we keep animals healthy while reducing antibiotic usage and what are the alternative solutions, what improvements can be made to address this pressing issue? This webinar will look at some important questions and present on: The Sow – The First Key to Success in Antibiotic-Free Production. In addition it will also dive into the topic of natural betaine, suitable for multi-species application, as a nutritional aid in managing gut health and as part of a nutritional solution in antibiotic reduction strategies.
