Because we know that the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in animals is a major contributor to the increasing spread of resistant pathogens. Therefore, it is an urgent need to reassess how we manage animal health. In this issue of Feed & Additive Magazine, we focus on the vital challenge of reducing antibiotic use in animals while continuing to ensure animal welfare and the safety of the food supply. A strategy of protection and prevention is a key step in tackling this challenge. Protective vaccinations, hygienic housing conditions, balanced and sufficient feeding, quality feed and water supply, managing stress... All these practices, which are part of the protection and prevention strategy, support immunity at the same time. This is also very important, since strong immunity is one of the most promising strategies in the fight against antibiotic resistance. Animals with strong and resilient immune systems are better able to fight infections through natural methods and have less need for antibiotics. A robust immune system not only improves overall animal health, but also minimises the impact of disease outbreaks, bringing a more sustainable and ethical approach to animal production. Feed additives that support nutrition and feeding play a key role in this process, as the right balance of nutrients can support the development and function of the immune system. For example, feed additives such as prebiotics, probiotics, essential oils and organic acids can help improve gut health and microbial balance, creating an environment that decreases the likelihood of harmful pathogens thriving. These additives can improve feed efficiency and animal performance, boost immunity and reduce the occurrence of diseases requiring antibiotic treatment. By incorporating such tools into livestock management practices, we can not only reduce the use of antibiotics, but also improve the overall health and welfare of animals. If you want to be informed about the latest developments and strategies that will light the way for a healthier and more sustainable livestock sector, keep following our magazine.
