Strategies and Ingredients for Plant and Animal Health
Improving animal or plant health is critical to increasing profit margins
Part of the losses in the primary sector are associated with the emergence of bacterial diseases in crops and animals, which are traditionally controlled through the use of chemically synthesised pesticides in plants and antibiotics in animals. However, these traditional solutions are limited by several factors, such as antimicrobial resistance and One Health strategies, the need to reduce the use of synthetic chemical pesticides and comply with maximum residue limits in food, or the lack of effective treatments in some cases.
Strengthening crops and animals through the use of health-promoting substances can help improve yields and competitiveness.
