Antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. New resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases.
A significant share of antibiotic use today is in animal husbandry, and two-thirds of the predicted growth in antibiotic use globally is in this sector. Moving away from antibiotics can be challenging and requires a new way of thinking, adapting feeding practices and biosecurity plans.
The use of feed additives to mitigate mycotoxins, modulate the gut and increase overall animal performance can be a valid, sustainable alternative for the future if applied correctly.
Understanding the role of feed additives and related technologies can be very overwhelming, and because of this, we have put together a panel of experts to answer the hottest questions from the field.
