Why we need to replace zinc oxide in tackling post-weaning diarrhea

Piglets experience significant stress when they are weaned from the sow and change diet, making them susceptible to gastrointestinal disorders. Primarily during the first two weeks after weaning, they are likely to suffer from post-weaning diarrhea (PWD). PWD is a significant problem for pig producers worldwide: it leads to severe dehydration, stunted growth and mortality...

Verbod op zinkoxide: wat zijn de alternatieven?

In juni 2017 heeft de Europese Commissie besloten het gebruik van geneesmiddelen voor diergeneeskundig gebruik met een hoog gehalte aan zinkoxide (3000 mg / kg) te verbieden vanaf 2022. Het gebruik van zinkoxide in de varkenshouderij moet worden beperkt tot de zinkbehoefte – 150 ppm. Daarom moet er nu nagedacht worden over alternatieve strategieën om...

Egg antibody technology for nursery pig application

Pigs at birth having insufficient immunity are simply not able to cope with the stress situations they face early in life. They of course become susceptible to the many pathogens common in the farrowing house. The resulting negative effects are added medical costs for treating the pigs and often an increased mortality. Strengthening the immune...

Understanding the dangers of mycotoxins for breeder hens

As the producers of hatching eggs and day-old chicks, breeding hens are the backbone of the poultry industry. Hence it is common practice to pay particular attention to this valuable asset’s feed, selecting raw materials of high nutritional quality and safety. However, in any feed formulated for animals in production and reproduction, studies show that...

Mind the immunity gap: egg immunoglobulins bolster piglets’ immune system

In contrast to humans, piglets do not receive any maternal immunoglobulins via the placenta. It is therefore of vital importance for these young animals to receive maternal antibodies via the colostrum as soon as possible after birth. Otherwise, they are more vulnerable to illnesses in their early stages of life. In this article, we look...

Optimal conditions in the farrowing unit put piglets in pole position

The most important parameters for a pig producer are the number of healthy pigs weaned/sow/year and their weaning weight. Due to improved genetics, it is possible today to find production systems that deliver more than 30 pigs weaned/sow/year. Strategies to increase sow productivity need to take into account the management, feeding, and health of both...

Beyond AGPs: Controlling necrotic enteritis through gut health optimization

Antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) have routinely been used in intensive poultry production for improving birds’ performance. However, in recent years, reducing the use of antibiotics in animal production has become a top priority, due to concerns about the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and mounting consumer pressure. Multiple countries have introduced bans or severe restrictions...

Phytomolecules: A tool against antibiotic-resistant E. coli

Diseases caused by E. coli entail use of antibiotics in animal production E. coli infections are a major problem in pig production. Especially young animals with an incompletely developed immune system are often unable to cope with the cavalcade of pathogens. In poultry, E. coli are responsible for oedema, but also for respiratory diseases....

Phytomolecules: Boosting Poultry Performance without Antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global public health. It is largely caused by the overuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture. In intensive poultry production most antibiotics are used as antimicrobial growth promoters and/or used as prophylactic and metaphylactic treatments to healthy animals. Reducing such antibiotic interventions is crucial to lowering...
