Longtime beef vet outlines mounting pressures of antibiotics use and what producers can expect.

Scientists from the United States have joined forces with Asia’s most prestigious universities to develop alternatives to antibiotics for global livestock production.

Use of antibiotics is under heightened scrutiny due to the increased prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens.

Around the world, biodiversity is dropping precipitously. In North America, about three billion birds have been lost over recent decades and amphibian populations are declining at a rate of about four per cent per year. Globally, insects are vanishing at a rate of about nine per cent per decade.

Imagine this: You have a sudden, virulent, painful infection (think gonorrhoea, meningitis, pneumonia).

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human and animal health. De Heus is committed to not only eliminating antibiotics from its feed by 2030, but also to helping farmers reduce their use of antibiotics as a preventive measure against disease.
